Hi, dnarnya. Thank your for your patience!

Use HijackThis to fix the following entries:
O6 - HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions present
O6 - HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel present

Everything else looks clean to me. It seems that the fatal error was caused by rather system or hardware problems than spyware parasites. Unfortunately, even uninfected machines crash from time to time.
