I noticed all of a sudden my cable modem is running like crazy even when i have no traffic...looking at my router logs I see ALOT of this:
Blocked outgoing ICMP packet (ICMP type 3) from 192.168.0.196 to 24.14.254.19
Tracing that IP its going to is a comcast.net domain I have another just like it that is going to a qwest domain different ip. Virus scan shows clean but this seems like rootkit or am I wrong?

From experts exchange:
"ICMP can't be used to transfer data... it's most likely due to network scanners on computers attempting to ping you... the ICMP type 3 indicates that the router is sending back "destination host unreachable" and unfortunately you can't stop that kind of traffic coming in, as long as your firewall is good and your network is protected then there is nothing to worry about with this kind of traffic."

You should have more problems than router traffic if a rootkit/virus is on the computer, however some can infect a router.
Go online a find the directions to reset your router or re-address it and see if that helps.

Now I am getting errors saying
xqrnzf.exe has stopped working
qqdrnp.exe has stopped workingThis defnitley sounds like a virus huh? Strange thing is my virus scanner did not pick anything up and its showing in the ntdll.dll file......any suggestions?

That does sound like rootkit/virus files.

Please save this file to your desktop. Win32kDiag.exe
Please double click on the Win32kDiag file and post the log it produces. This log might be quite lengthy and may take more than one post to get all of it posted.

That does make a difference as many of the tools used to find and kill baddies will not work on a x64 system.
