hello. i looked at the sticky post here. and i dont know what "no post" is so im asking here.
i had this laptop for 10 to 12 years or so. it been used for home/personal use. i have a highspeed broadband internet always on connection.
just a couple or so years ago i bought a new router and modem that allows me to use my desktop and my laptop pc aroudn the whole house with the ability to [change my cridentials if i need to]. because i REALLYYY needed that.
it seems that theres a very bad virus on my laptop. for the last 3 years or so i havent used the lapop because it wouldnt stay on for more than 5 minutes after it got into windows vista. (micreosoft still gives extended support for windows vista dont they?). so i cant do any virus/malware scans. i cant do the disk cleanup and defrag and etc either.
the laptop seems to start up faster today than it did back the first week that it started doign this on me.
i undid the operating system back then 7 or 8 years ago. so that messed it's startign up a ton. then i put it back with the restore discs. so that prob was solved way back then.
so wheres the virus and how do i get rid of it? and if its a hardware part going, then which one(s) is it?
