Recently my computer has been crashing to the dreaded blue screen. I've run various antispyware and virus software to try to solve the problem. It hasn't happened since but i came across the dell crash analysis tool which pointed to spygates driver; wpsdrvnet.sys v.1.0.0.17 as a possible cause. (not sure if thats of any use)
