When something like this happens I run a full scan as soon as possible. I run the quick scan every couple of weeks on my desktop and lap top.

The red screen happened on my lap top so the full scan did to take that long. As far as the desktop goes that takes a lot longer as I am spinning 2 500 gig hard drives and both are 80% full.

The one key thing to remember that if you are in the position of the OP, BTK, then you HAVE to boot the computer in safe mode with networking to run Malwarebytes or you are just wasting your time.
