My son recently downloaded a "podmena" virus via facebook.  I therefore

Whilst the virus appears to have been successfully removed a residual
problem has nevertheless emerged.

When the computer is starting up the monitor screen will invariably,
but not always go black, the monitor power light remains green and the
computer successfully completes the start up process albeit behind a
now black screen.  If I press the monitor power button off and then on
again the screen will very briefly return to normal before once more
going black.  If I repeat this process enough times the screen will
eventually return to normal and I can use the computer unhindered.
However if the computer is left inactive for any significant period of
time I find that upon returning to it the monitor screen will again go
black and I must again go through the process of switching the monitor
power button off and on again until normal service is resumed.

Can anyone help me please?

Anti-Virus software should be installed before a virus has hit.
Installing anti-virus after the virus got in means you now must try
other software in order ro make "complete" sure that the virus is
eliminated.

Also, as with most viruses, the clean up process will possible remove
"important" files. It seems that either a monitor or video card
setting / file has been damaged. You will need to re-install the
drivers for both you monitor and video card.

As a previous response, you can be suffering from a "bad luck" and the
monitor is also failing.
