Just want to know approximately how much it would cost me to have a computer technician to come in and fix the computer as it wont log on cant turn it off without switching off at power. I'm in sydney's western suburbs (blacktown area)
I'm over it now, I have asked 2 previous questions and most were helpful but I can't get it to start up to try and disable some programs.
And besides I am not computer savy when its comes to problem.
It was working fine until a week or so ago, but my son has been using it to get into facebook. I dont use facebook. I was wondering if this has anything to do with its problems. The only time its used normally is to view emails and hubby plays solitaire
I have no choice but to get someone in, Ahhhggg I can't fix it.
Update:hey, when i was deleting history I did find a porn site under my son's account. ah huh, I'll have to ask him about that (btw he is 23)
Ill give your idea a go tomorrow and see if it works.
I ve had enough for the day

Then disable everything there basically uncheck everything.
Then restart the pc log back into your Windows normally and follow the instruction below to completely scan your pc for malware/spy ware and virus

The facebook thing did not cause the problem, I'm betting hubby plays more than solitaire might be playing something else and surfing some dirty sites "wink-wink"
Not all porn sites can harm your computer a lot of them are dirty, specially when he is trying to look for crack password for paysite.
If you can download (The Ultimate Trouble Shooter) when installed and started it will detail all running processes and when an individual one is highlighted will give a detailed explanation of what it is and allow you to stop or delete the process.
I noticed my modem lights were always flickering as if something was trying to go on net I used the above program and found 3 suspicious one and deleted them no further trouble It should work for you
Note what you stop Write down and search for them with windows search and delete them after you are sure

computer guys will not come to your house
they expect you to take the computer to them to get it fixed.
So find a repair shop nearby and take it to them.
Note, you only need to take your box, leave the monitor, keyboard, mouse and all the cables at home. Just take the box
cost about $65
if the computer is new, you should be able to get it fixed under warranty, contact where you bought it.
no porn site will cause your problem.
make sure you got 2 gig or more ram, if not, get some more installed while its getting fixed.
