BSOD bad_pool_caller

Not open for further replies.
Google brought me here related to a search on my bad_pool_caller issue I keep experiencing periodically. I have yet to narrow it down to a particular peice of hardware or software and am hoping someone can review my latest MINIDUMP to point me in the right direction. The PC is a few years old, no new major hardware changes that I recall except one internal hard drive, but I am constantly installing/uninstalling software.

The BSOD references no particular driver or other specific info other than what's also loggedin EVENTVIEWER.
Code:
The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck.  The bugcheck was: 0x000000c2 (0x00000007, 0x00000cd4, 0x02060001, 0x866503f8). A dump was saved in: C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\Mini020707-01.dmp.
That specific DMP is attached for your review.

Thanks. :)
 
Your debug report and the culprit is Zonalarm

Refer this problem and it is identical to your problem. De-install or upgrade ZA will fix the blue screen problem.
 
Interestingly I had disabled, but not uninstalled, Zone Alarm when the problem first appeared. It had never found any malware/etc. and I have a hardware firewall/NAT anyway so virtually everything is stealth and protected. I'll uninstall ZA, reboot, and see what happens.

Many thanks for deciphering my dump and ending the mystery. :)
