Such problems are discussed daily there. But here's something that I'm finding new owners to be unaware of. The new owners think that antivirus protection should stop all bad things. Sorry but it's still a PC and if we visit bad sites and click ok or install something bad then we did the machine in. Maybe someday there will be something that won't depend on us.

I have two Dell latitudes that have gotten viruses. I had Avast on both of them but that did not seem to help. I cannot do a restore in safe mode or regular mode. Is there anything I can do after the fact to fix my computer? The geek squard says they can fix it for $200 even though they have not seen it. I can't believe there is not a fixc out there for less money or one I can do myself. Both computers boot up but I cannot use any search engines and after a few minutes it starts making a siren sound and locks up.
