The Blue Screen Of Death and Win XP Pro

OK so the story goes like this:

I downloaded a torrent, some video file, packed in a .rar. In a readme file beside it it says that I can install some Easy Decrypter if I dont want the hdtv-xvid codec. So I want to install it and watch, but WMP doesnt move. then computer shuts down and shows the following Blue screen: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL ....... NDIS.sys.

So I reset, but the thing doesnt seem to work. Several programs show errors (DAEMON- tools, Nokia phone software...) then I get the same BSOD. I try safe mode- which works. What do I have to do to fix this?

You would have to use Winrar to open the .rar files. If the video is in rar format it's most likely fake. Once you've opened it make sure to download K-lite codex pack.

The fact that it told you do "install a decrypter" tells me it was most likely a virus. X360PS3AMD05

Yeah you should do a scan in safe mode. You can always format and reinstall windows...
