However, being anal/paranoid with security and PC integrity, I'd back up my files to another location like OneDrive or Google Drive, reformat the hard drive(s), and start from scratch by reinstalling the OS, assuming you don't have a system restore point somewhere. yeah its been going through updates ever since i opened it thursday. it wants me to restart constantly for new updates. my drivers and antivirus are up to date. i'm not sure how to update OS however? maybe it did that however. hm. one thing is that in devices and printers it has a caution symbol on the computer, i trouble shoot, and it says Microsoft wi-fi virtual adapter is running into issues. idk what that is, but when i apply the fix it says trouble shooting was unable to fix. would you know what that is? thank you for your help btw. also, do you think they'll give out windows 10 again? i read they want as many people on it as possible to leave behind older windows. if they offer it i'll jump on it asap. --- ''Never lenient...

| RJP_X 01/15/18 10:40:28 PM #5 | because i was reading about trojans and it said they hide in computers and move around and steal all your info. idk much about computers, but i at least managed all this stuff. --- ''Never lenient... On your zenith.'' -Cam'ron PSN: RJP_X |

| RJP_X 01/15/18 10:11:11 PM #1 | it refused to start up or anything, only option was to wipe the computer. kept all files though, but programs were removed. i did a full scan run with windows defender and that's how it found the trojan, it said it removed it. i did an additional full run with avira and nothing was detected anymore. would you say the computer is safe now? i haven't been using it but it seemed to perform better by wiping it. i changed a few of my passwords after the incident, primarily my PSN and email are the most important. i don't own any credit cards or bank accounts to have anything like that online. but my PSN is highly valuable to me as i've had it for years and bought many games on it. --- ''Never lenient...

| Topic | is it normal for an asus laptop to say 'plugged in,not charging? |
| RJP_X 01/15/18 8:08:54 PM #4 | Zeus posted... RJP_X posted...i have a new out of the box asus laptop that i've had for back up for a few years. its on windows 8.1, and when i started it i noticed it said 0% battery, not charging. for some reason after a long time it finally charged. been using it for a few days and its been in the upper 90% range and it says plugged in not charging. i apologize @Zeus i'm not the best at explaining things, but good news is i let the battery fall to 93% without it plugged in, i plugged it back in out of curiosity and its charging back up. --- ''Never lenient...
