Hi
Sorry I'm not very technological, so you'll have to bear with me, but I'm having some issues with my Dell laptop. It's been behaving strangely for the last week or so. Now, when it starts up the formatting of Windows XP looks rather strange (different colour toolbar and different font). Also, it won't connect wirelessly to the internet as it usually does, as it says no supported wireless adapters are available. Prior to this internet explorer had been behaving strangely with tabs not opening and randomly crashing a lot.
Thanks to some help I got on here I have ccleaner, Avast antivirus, malwarebytes, HijackThis already on my computer. I've been running Avast regularly for the last week or so and it's not been finding anything. What should I be running next?
Thanks

Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending
