My laptop is infected with some kind of virus that shuts down the
laptop after a little popup comes up with some information and a
red cross. I cant stop it shutting down and no anti virus software
can pick it up at all. My only option is to wipe my drive and hope
it destroys the virus, but the big big problem is i have lost my
disk that comes with the laptop, which from what i have read is the
only thing possible to wipe your drive unless you buy some
software, but my dad thinks we should leave it to a pro, any
advise?
I am using an Acer TravelMate 4150
Windows xp
Contact those you bought the system from and ask for help.
