    Ye olde Blue screen of death

    I have started getting bsod at log-in. Attached is diagnostics suggested in someone elses thread.
    Thanks for any help.
    I'm also curious as to how this may have happened and how to prevent it.

    Welcome
    You have given us a lot of reports, many point to the same culprit
    wpsdrvnt.sys
    This is a driver that is part of your Sygate Technologies Software
    If your antivirus is from Symantec, that appears to be the cause.
    Make a system restore point and update the driver or uninstall the software.
    If the problem continues post the new reports and we will go to the next step.
    For testing purposes, replace your anti virus with Microsoft Security Essentials.

    My Symantec was an old version. I ended up uninstalling and installing free microsoft virus software and it seems the problem is gone. I'll let you know if it comes back.
    Again, thanks for your help.
