BSOD "Bad_pool_caller"

Not open for further replies.
My computer gets a BSOD saying "BAD_POOL_CALLER" on startup every time I boot up, but is fine in safe mode so I guess it is a driver problem, but I don't know how to work out which driver it is. So if someone could help I would be really grateful.

I have attached the last few minidumps so hopefully someone can do something with them. (I'm in safe mode with networking on the computer atm, so it is definitely a driver problem).

Thanks in advance.
 
Faulting driver is klif.sys
used by Kaspersky Anti-Virus or ZoneAlarm Security Suite

Your bugcheck is...
DRIVER_VERIFIER_DETECTED_VIOLATION (c4)
A device driver attempting to corrupt the system has been caught. This is because the driver was specified in the registry as being suspect (by the administrator) and the kernel has enabled substantial checking of this driver. If the driver attempts to corrupt the system, bugchecks 0xC4, 0xC1 and 0xA will be among the most commonly seen crashes.

I would suspect either ...
1) an incompatibility between your current AV or Firewall and your Vista OS.
2) a malware infection has compromised your AV or Firewall.

Try Updating your AV and Firewall... If you have problems doing so, then Malware is very likely.
In either case, I would suggest checking for malware using the 8 steps...
