Well that's a bummer. A friend gave it to me new. He said it already had a battery installed when he got it free with his laptop :/

I've got this wireless mouse from Rapoo a few months ago. And 2 weeks ago it stopped working and I've still not fixed it. All of a sudden it stopped working. I suspected a bad battery. But I changed batteries several times now but all of them didn't work. I noticed the little red light does not...

Thank you all, after reading some forums, they said to download Malwarebytes and I ran a full scan on it. It seemed to remove the trojan along with 6 other potentially unwanted programs. Windows Defender doesn't detect it anymore. Thank god!

oh really? i'll try to do that!

My laptop recently got the Behavior:Win32/Powemet.B!attk trojan from a flashdrive from my friend. When I plugged the flashdrive in, Windows Defender Antivirus immediately detected it. My laptop has now has the trojan but Windows Defender quarantines it every time it boots up. It's getting...

I've recently made a thread about my laptop getting high disk usage which none of the solutions worked. Now, as I've said in the previous threads, this laptop is new, less than a month old. The laptop boots up showing the Asus logo with then after a few seconds, it suddenly powers off (with a...

I have some good news! With the AVG stuff I did yesterday, all of a sudden my laptop became a lot faster (or even as fast as before). The boot up time is now around 30 seconds and the disk usage doesn't go as high as 100. AVG made around 480 registry tweaks and I turned off "Get tips, tricks...

AVG also ran a hard drive check up and and reported that the hdd is in good shape with no...

Thanks for your reply. After the reset the virus doesn't show up now. But in return, it became very very slow. The disk usage is very high and its being consumed by a lot of different Microsoft services. Do you think that this a hardware issue or a software issue and does the warranty cover this...

I've just recently bought a new laptop and the next day I was installing some apps and one of them came with a virus. It made my computer 'unusable' to browse the web as the virus keeps popping up a lot of ads and keeps redirecting me to the a website called " InitialSite123". I got really...

I've just bought a new laptop last week (ASUS VivoBook Max x441u |6th gen. Core i3, 4gb ram, 1tb hdd, Nvidia GeForce 930mx running on Windows 10) It was working fine for a few days until I downloaded something and it turns out to be a virus. I believe it was the InitialSite 123 virus where it...
