Sooooooo,
I was in safe mode cleaning my computer, which was riddled with viruses, worms, whatnot, with Kaspersky AV. I chose the option to delete any viruses found, then turn computer off, and went to bed. Apparently that was WRONG! When I woke up and tried to turn the computer on, I got nothing. I tried turning power off, then back on. All I got was a brief flash of the Dell page, then it went black, into nothingness. I am on my very old computer writing this in a panic, as I have lots of work to do today on my "good" computer. Any help would be deeply appreciated.
Please forgive me if I posted in the wrong place. I am (obviously) a newbie and have no idea what the problem is.
