Hi,

My sister has Windows Active Guard on her pc and I am about to talk her through post 1 to 4.

Can someone clarify please is post 1 to 4 for any Windows pc, my sister has Vista or 7. Does posts 1 to 4 still apply for her?

When processing posts 1 to 4 should she be in safe mode?

To get safe mode on a laptop do you just press F8 from the start?

Many thanks

Amanda

If you've still got problems, start a new topic and post a DDS log.

Download DDS from the link below and save it to your desktop:

Link

After you've downloaded it and saved it to your desktop:

• Double click DDS to run it.
• When it's finished, DDS will open two logs:

1. DDS.txt
2. Attach.txt

Save both reports to your desktop.

Copy & paste the contents of just DDS.txt for now and post it here (you may need to split the log over separate posts)
