Thanks for the advice. I switched to paid Kaspersky several years ago after having a very nasty computer virus...literally having to pull the plug out of the wall because popups were coming at blinding speeds! Took the geeks quite awhile to clean it all up.
Haven't had a virus issue for years untill this start up virus happened. It caused the system to freeze, slow down and I couldn't get it to reboot for awhile. It slipped past Kaspersky.
It appears that nothing is truly safe. I don't click on ads or attachments unless I specifically asked for them. No E cards...nothing. And still...
The geek did not have a name for the start up virus, but what it did was disable the "quick start" function and mess with performance.
Has anyone had that recently?
