Hello Community,
I have a problem for you guys that i'm hoping to get help with.
Just the other day I booted up my computer only to realize that i couldn't open any programs (firefox, skype, word, excel etc.) After double clicking icons it wouldnt pretend to load them by making the circling cursor but would stop. I also couldn't start them from the program directory either. I am curretnly using my laptop to write this as i can't get the internet on my computer either.
I rebooted in safe mode and nothing changed., I couldnt access anything. I'm suspecting a virus, but am totally clueless of how to deal with it seeing as I cant run any anti virus programs or download anything to this computer. Its strange because i had recently run my antivirus program about 2 days ago. My friend has tried eliminating various sources of the problem but is also clueless as to what this could be and suggested I simply reformat. Ultimately i feel I am going to have to but it would quite the burden since all my windows disks and programs are at my house (Im currently at school, many hours away from home.) and It might be weeks till I am able to do this.
If anyone has any suggestions or has encountered this problem before I would greatly appreciate any advice or suggestions
Thank you in advance.
