Hi All,
I am typing from my phone.
My son watched netflix on my laptop then started playing free games.
Since then it definitely has a virus.
I tried to scan via anti malware virus
nothing came up.
My ESET security has expired.
I downloaded panda anti virus, Seems it has made my laptop worst. pop up galore.
I now cannot even get on to the Internet.
Before I downloaded panda I tried system restore to no avail.
