Hi jaldin_b
Welcome to the Community Forums.
WSA is very simple to use; you just cllick the SCAN MY COMPUTER button in the centre of the main panel and let WSA run a scan. If it detects anything it will notify you and offer clean up options if required.
Do that and then post back here with the results.

Hi Petr
Whilst everything you say is true, I think that we should not prejudge the situation and assume that jaldin_b is having issues with removing malware with WSA. Lets see what the scan comes up with as if nothing is found then one may need to look elsewhere for the reasons for the BSODs, etc. ;)
