The other day while surfing I got a norton pop-up that said my computer was under attack. So I disconnected my connection and ran norton but it was out dated. so I removed it and installed AVG and ran it and it removed some cookies ( 14 total)
So I thought the problem was fixed. Boy was I wrong I left the computer unattended and it was on wifi and I guess it finished down load whatever it was. So the problem I have now is when you turn the computer on it goes to start page and when you select the username it Say's loading settings and then it Say's saving settings and goes right back to start page.
I tried running the restore disk that came with the machine and it did not work. So I guess I will have to reformat but the problem is that I have some family photos I need to get off the hard drive but I cannot access. Any one had this problem before? The computer is a HP Pavilion 8000.
Please Help
Thanks
