Hi to all those out there who know lots about computers that I don't!
My computer has started playing up.
It cam up with an AVG pop up and said something about Trojan so I clicked on the x to shut it down and the computer went really funny.
So switched if off and then it came up with a black screen and then asked if I wanted to use safe mode - t t came back with no earlier dates so that was not possible.
Have gone into safe mode and have been advised to download a programme called:
superantispyware which will get rid of the trojans that I had because when I ran the Avg it said that I had about 5 Trojans eeeek!
The only problem is is when i tried to install this programme it said that the adminstrator would not let me
So what now please
hope this all makes sense
Your hoping.......

You can use either, the one with an installer will be easier to use.
Failing all the above is it possible to backup your emails bookmarks and files then reinstall windows.0 -
