It has been like that since last night after i accidentally pressed "yes" or "accept" when a window popped up while i was watching a tv show online. Sorry I don't remember what it said in that window, I was tired and I'm not exactly computer savvy.
Did i dl a virus? After that, the laptop crashed and a blue screen came up with something about crash dumping files at the bottom and the comp restarted. I did not know what to do so when i was able to get back in with safe mode(after many many tries), I did system restore to an earlier time but it did not work. Blue screen and restarting still happened afterward. So I ran norton while i was logged in w safe mode w networking again but the comp restarted half way thru it. I used Avira later and the same thing. The browsing i can do online to search for what could be wrong is limited as well, because when i click on any of the stuff that came up in the search results, it takes me to some advertisement page instead...the only way i can view any search result is by clicking on the cached link. So that is how i got to this site! Please help me!! I dunno what is going on... is it a virus or faulty hard drive or what is it? I feel like it has to do that thing i dl-ed last night. The laptop is new i just bought it last month and it is so frustrating that this is happening so soon. On the blue screen, i saw DRIVERS_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
Also my windows security center service is not turned on and i'm not able to turn it on. when i try, it says "windows security center service can't be started".
i thought it might be the "sasser" virus that people were complaining about...they say their computer keeps restarting due to it and that you have to turn off "system restore" in order to remove it. So i went to start>computer>properties> which took me to "system" in my windows7 but the turn on/off tab is missing!! Please help! What should I do?
