I want to buy a laptop for pretty much everyday use. I don’t care if it’s Mac or PC. Mac I know is more expensive, but less virus prone. Right know I’m looking at HP and Dell. Dell I know has awful customer support. I’ve also heard names such as Acer, Toshiba and Gateway. I’m kind of skeptical about Gateway. All I know is that I want
-A webcam
-Windows Word (not Works Word Processor)
-PowerPoint
-An average speed (currently looking at Intel Core 2 Duo)
-Be able to multi-task (music,internet, type all at once)
-would like, (but don’t need) Cd/dvd burner
-Wi-Fi (don’t need broadband)
-Would prefer <,000
-No more than ,500
-Needs to last about 4-yrs
-Needs to work!!!!!
Hello People.
Our Toshiba laptop two weeks ago became infected with more viruses then ever, even when I have removed several from the laptop myself (which are painstaking and time consuming as to avoid destroying it). We had no single way of how to determine where the viruses where coming from. All the laptop does now once we turn on the power is load up untill we see either the Toshina or Windows logo and then turns off again and then turn itselfs back on again. Last time a relative was on the laptop in safe mode searching for a file name. I suggested that at all no file should be deleted untill I looked into it. They said that none were deleted, but I am still full of doubt, could you tell me can the software that assists in the starting up of the laptop be deleted or can it be corrupted to prevent us from using the laptop. Can it be fixed. Its a horror since theres bills to pay for the broadband and We cannot buy a new laptop now.
What can be done?
Free sites cause the problem and other family members failed to keep the filters and virus protection software on. Once it it dealt with we will increase the memory and have individual internet accounts with settings that will not be changed. The day before it happened a younger brother stopped deleting the temp internet files, when I said it should be done after closing every window and now the laptop needs to be scanned and searched for odd files daily.
