Someone installed norton anti-virus in my laptop. Since then, when i put any external drive lik my phone memory card, it will scan automatically. But after scanning, it wil hide d files in d drive in an unnamed folder written 'unspecified' . Everything in d card wil not show in d phone unless i put it back into my laptop, copy out the content, format d card and paste content back. It's so frustrating i need help

Sir, I have done what you prescibed above but to no avail...
Let me what I omitted initially: before incidence occurred I used to place it on a bed, and when pressed the eject button the bed usually will not allow it come out freely except I lifted it up till can come out freely. That's what I quessed it might be its cause.

keep trying with office paper clip. you could try
giving it to another person to do it for you

That is a sign of graphic problem. Your graphic chip is having a problem and I don't usually opt for REFLOW(it will occur again within months) but to get a new motherboard. It could also be the problem of the screen inverter.

I would advise you to take it to a qualified tech.

You can uninstall normally, then go to your Registry, search for the prog u just uninstalled and delete any associated link it has with the registry, then restart ur system.

2. Download any 3rd party utility software like, your uninstaller or Revo, and use it to uninstall the program.

@ deji and oxone, thanks.

Just wondering these antivirus keys that tell you, you have like 50years, should they be taken seriously, are they any safe, or isnt there something really wrong with them?

LOL @50 years! stay away from those as they don give the the much needed protection.

Also its almost useless installing a paid antivirus if you don't go online or update it cos regular update for protection against new virus or variant of existing ones is actually what you're paying for

Maybe the memory allocation to your GPU is low. With the that config, u should be able to run FIFA 12 without problems. What model of laptop is that.

you could try atx reset

take battery and charger out and any other devices that
is currently attached, i.e usb stick , printer etc

then hold down the laptop power for 30 seconds
to discharge static electricity. please follow the
instructions carefully. After that connect the battery
and power on. if you have constant light just connect teh charger first and
use to power on.

is the fan running ?

any cd inside the laptop please?

if you live in Nigeria where light are not constant, please
attach the battery first. have your laptop turned itself off unexpectedly?

have used a generator to charger or a low current NEPA Lights
