TRAV365 Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Hi i seemed to have picked up some virus on my laptop i run avst and have done a check but it finds nothing but i can not get the latest updates for it as it fails to connect to the server and i also use spybot but that will now also not run and can not download any updates so i then tried to do a system restore i pick a old day go to click on next but thats as far as it goes it will not let click on next to start the restore. Im pretty thick when it comes to computers so any help will be aprricated. Thanks mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRAV365 Posted January 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 hi i tried some of the above but still not sorted after downloading a new virus check my computer refuses to let me even run the thing. deleted spybot redownloaded it and still cant click to run it and still cant do a restore as it will just not go past next. im even having problems shuting down and restarting the laptop now. Cant do much about it now as im off on holiday but when i come back i thought i may reformat the laptop as ive got the backup windows disk but how easy is this to do and any one know of a website where it tells you how to do it.
