A friend had a virus and after seeming to get everything cleaned now
occassionally gets, on shutdown, a message containing 0x0000007F and
"something about a Kernal". Looking up that error code in the KB says one
thing to do is test the RAM with diagnostic software. Can someone tell me
what software I'd use? Is it part of Windows XP Home?

Thanks in advance
