Goodday everyone, please i have a little challenge on a friends Laptop. there is this virus that keeps poping up each time u start up the system ans it won't allow you to access any web page. the laptop uses a wireless internet access card to browse. my friend said when he was online, he got a message that his system is prone to attack that he sholud download and scan his system with a certain SPYWARE TOOL REMOVER. as soon as that was done the whole system started maffunctioning, you cant open any web page. Please, anyone that cant assist? |

Ok, let me tell you the easiest way, try the system restore function:,go to start,programs, accessories,system tools, click on system restore. U hav to remember when ur friend got downloaded the adware/malware, restore the computer to a date before that period. This should help take care of the problem. If not most anti-virus wont pick it up so a total format mit do the trick. Cheers!! |
