My dell laptop has been attacked by many kinds of computer viruses because of the different untrusted sites that my kids have visited. And so, I used anti-virus software to remove the viruses on my laptop. When I opened my laptop a day after, I was surprised with this error message that appeared on the screen “"Interactive logon process initialization has failed. Please consult the event log for more details.” I tried booting it many times and sometimes it directed me into Safe Mode, Safe Mode With Networking, and Normal Mode options.

However, I can reach the Recovery Partition, can click the...

Hey Everyone,

Any body familiar with the NightWatchman software?

I have this in our office. I guess this is used to do an automatic shutdown or whatever. I believe there should be an option for the timer on to whether what time or how long before your computer can be shut down.

Anyway, enough for the introduction, I want to do a change in settings however, the keep alive option is grayed out.

This is...

I was using my computer when we had a power outage. Now that the power is back, I turned it on again but the computer reboots every time I plug in my iPhone to it. I don’t know what is going on. I tried unplugging the iPhone and turned the PC off and on but still not working. I am afraid that maybe the problem is on my PC. I hope not ,because I cannot afford to buy a new one at the moment and I might need to correct some configurations only.

Any solutions you might have are greatly...

I had bought a PC from a very close friend with two operating systems installed within, Windows XP and Windows 7. The Windows XP was installed to Drive C while the Windows 7 was installed to Drive D.

I decided to remove the Windows XP because I didn’t realize the necessity of using two operating systems at the same time for performance reason. While the process of removing Windows XP was about to end, my PC restarted and this kind of error had occurred

“ERROR READING DISK INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER. ”

I restarted my computer again and I was...

I used CCleaner to clean my windows pc. I recently noticed that it is not deleting cookies and clearing the history of my visited websites. Google Chrome is my default browser so I had to go to settings>tools>clear browsing data every time I want to do it. I checked CCleaner and under Google Chrome, internet cache, cookies and history are all checked.

My CCleaner version is v3.02.1343. I have been using it for so long because it speeds up my computer’s performance. I don’t know if the problem is on my Google chrome settings. Is there a fix...

My cousin downloaded a file from the internet and ever since that happened, I started to get a lot of pop-ups on my PC. Also, I noticed that sometimes my mouse pointer is moving without me touching it. Is my computer being infiltrated or something? I have an Antivirus installed and it’s updated. It came free for one year when I purchased my computer. I don’t think it is working properly because I still get those annoying ads.Can you suggest the best free Antivirus software that can be downloaded from the internet? I only know AVG and Malwarebytes.
