The file it identified was in windows\system32\drivers\acpi.sys

To fully recover from the virus, I had to restart from the last saved set point. It starts fine. Everything runs. But at shut down I get that application Pentablet.exe had the 0x76bf176a error (apparently MS Essentials). Hitting OK continues the shutdown. One other error happens...quickly something like Smsystemanalyse can't shut down.

I have rerun the scan-deep scan, and nothing came up. How do I fix this? Do I still have the virus?
