Well a little over two years ago I was surfing the web and this warning came up telling me we had a virus. Well I was instructed to click on the warning for a free scan and BAM!!! the computer froze and shut down.
Now I tried to turn the computer back on, and instructions were given to press F1 or F2, I can't remember wich, but it only showed this for about 1/4 of a second, and I could never hit the button quick enough.
Now one of our son's friends looked at it to see if he could fix the problem, he knows about computers, so I gave the go ahead. The same thing happend to him, and after a lenghty time he said the computer was ruined, to by another, it would be cheaper. Well John's friend told me when I clicked on what popped up, that gave us a virus.
So yesterday Cindy was on her notebook she bought about two years ago, and it started acting up. The charging jack is really loose, and if I held it in a certian spot I could get on line. So I called a friend of mine that works on computers, and he said Cindy's notebook would be harder to fix. So after I hung the phone up, I thought I would try to turn this bad boy on. I wasn't expecting anything different, but to my suprise, it worked. Made a few adjustments, and the virus apperantly went away...how, I don't know. But so far so good.
So now I have a question, does anyone know how the virus just vanished??? It's got me puzzled.
Thax, Big John
