I just bought a new Toshiba laptop, what is the best antivirus software to get, seeing as I want to put it on there right away.
I’ve got a Dell desktop and a Toshiba laptop. My lap-tippity-top went and got a virus on it. I got all the visible viruses out using Webroot software but it keeps randomly shutting down. I went to Best Buy and talked to the Geek Squad guys and they said it was a virus loaded into the memory or something and that to get rid of it I would have to restore it to factory condition. The thing is, I don’t have any system disks or anything for my laptop, but I DO have them for my desktop.. Can I use those disks or do I have to go and buy disks FOR MY LAPTOP? If I DO have to go buy them, where do I go and about how much do they run for?
I juz bought a toshiba laptop 1 month ago. Everything was running smoothly but until yesterday, my booting speed suddenly decreased. It takes bout 2 minute to enter the desktop. I’ve been facing that problem since my first pc until this 4th pc. There are no virus, spyware, malware, adware.. I edy remove some startup program in msconfig, run defrag and yet tat still cant slove my problem. My laptop has intel core 2 duo 1.6ghz and 2gb ram with vista home premium. Can i noe why every of my pc’s booting speed always become slower after using it for a period.
What processes should be running in my task manager with no applications open? What is safe to remove?
Where is malicious software or folders commonly found and how do i remove these items?
I own a Toshiba Laptop if that helps. I got some things on here I would like to keep therefore I cant restore my harddrive. Thanks for your help guys.
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.
My Toshiba laptop has a virus on it. It is going really slow and has problems doing many things. With that being said, I always start it in safe mode. In this mode, of course no sound, but everything works properly and goes a lot faster.
However, I do have a lot of songs, pictures, documents and other applications that I needed for school/work but no longer do. And I was going to get rid of a lot. I am also buying a new security system (anti-virus) for it. But I just wanna start all over and restart.
I do not have the CD that came with the laptop. I bought it off a good friend of mine and just got the laptop, charger, and some case for it. Do not have the restore CD if there is even one.
Like I said, it’ll start in regular mode, but it will go slow, and will no go online (virus). Just wanna start all over.
Anyone have any info on how to dump it and start over? What will I have to do? Do I need a CD or can I just do this on the computer.
Whatever I need to get, I’ll buy it and use it. I don’t wanna buy a bunch of stuff that I don’t need.
Also, when I dump it, I do not need any files, pics, documents, songs or anything like that. I could get rid of everything that I have that was not needed to use the computer. All the add-ons I have, they can go.
Any info would be awesome. Would like to do this tomorrow! Thanks.
i just bought a new Toshiba laptop…my old laptop i bought used had Avast already on it….i never had any problems getting rid of a virus with it by going through the "safe" mode….so should i pay for Norton or download Avast for free?
