Ok i have had a few issues over the past month and have been using the ehelp guides to try and resolve these issues and all seemed ok. Now on Saturday my computer got taken over by a virus called "Vista Anti Malware 2010" and seemed to bed itself in and change a few desktop apps etc etc - it blocked me from using malware bytes and searching solutions on google and it also stopped me from doing a system restore.
Now i managed to boot into safe mode but in safe mode the virus was still evident - i ran another scan and no infections were found, although they were obviously there !! i then managed to system restore and it appears this virus as vanished from my main system but i am not 100% confident it isn't lurking somewhere.
I really need some step by step help before i concede defeat and take my laptop to be checked/repaired, so is their anybody on here who can help ? i have a few other issues which are only trivial but also need checking ..... if someone could maybe reply on here or inbox me ? i would like to maybe chat with someone who can help over msn and fix these problems ..... any help much appreciated ... Thanks !
