vet12 Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Well I had a laptop picked out. (Toshiba - Satellite Laptop with AMD Athlon™ II Dual-Core Processor - Graphite Gray) Now this website has popped up. Has anyone had or heard of anyone else having problems with Windows 7? http://www.silobreaker.com/windows-7-11_54609746 Thanks, vet12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Content Curator/HadIt.com Elder Vync Posted December 1, 2009 Content Curator/HadIt.com Elder Share Posted December 1, 2009 Run windows defender and make sure you have a good anti virus software. J Also look into malwarebytes anti-malware. It tends to be able to get rid of spyware that other premier programs (i.e. spybot search & destroy and adaware) can't remove. If you can't get to the websites, you may have to go to a friend's house and have them burn the discs on CD for you. Some of the crap will block access and even disable your antivirus/antispyware programs. You may even have to install and/or run them in safe mode (press F8 as your PC boots up). A full scan could take a really long time, so be patient. You might have to do it repeatedly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone would reach behind the monitor and turn the brightness all the way down. Power on, but nothing on the screen. The number of computers were limited, so people would do that to get out of doing assignments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
