Desktop Nightmare - 7th Jul 2013 6:14am
Hope someone can understand this and has anyone had the same problem?
Went away for a few days, came back, switched on desktop running BT Total Broadband with McAfee built in. McAfee takes over 24 hours to do full scan, nothing found. Since then nothing but probs. Couldn't get any joy with booting up, had to hold F11 down for 3 seperate boots, which progressed the bootup one stage further each time until I got to sign on. . Had to do a full reinstall of my operating system, losing all my files but luckily they are on BT Cloud so can recover them when I get sorted. Getting my programmes on gradually but when I do a net search I only get ad related results, no actual sites I'm looking for, e.g. Wikiwirral can't be accessed on my desktop. Anyone any ideas? I have a gut feeling that I have a worm, virus or something like that but McAfee isn't about to tell me about it. I also have Windows Defender and that's says nothing.
