A couple of days back, my system started crashing frequently with BSOD(Blue Screen Of Death) screen when i tried opening any application or google web page. I observed  an icon like ‘windows security center’ in my system tray and when i opened it is redirecting to the website http://www.antispycheck.com.Even in safe mode this icon is visible.As it is malware both antivirus and spyware removal tools unable to found this culprit. when I tried to delete temp files and recent documents I’am facing BSOD screen.Upon googling found two excellent links where I found step-by-step removal instructions.
