Laptop ****ed again, being bombarded with pop-ups, stupid ****in adverts and messing up my desktop. Any suggestions? Or should I just get it put into a repair shop? ****in fed up with viruses and such.
Try a system restore, ER. Or start it in safe mode and do an adware scan. Had the same problem a week or 2 ago on one of the families laptops
http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware.php See if you can download that and run it, ER. The first one (free)
You need to extrapolate the hard modem. Then purge the digital databook and reset the live capacitator. Make sure you have the control stick inserted into the central diagnosis port though. Good luck buddy.
Search for Spybot ER. It's a free malware remover and it might help you. I would maybe get rid of the Norton as it normally slows your computer right down. If you want to pay for antivirus try bullguard. There are plenty of fairly decent free ones.
