I have done it but I still experience it. Another issue I am having is that I have avast installed on the system since last year, so around june I discovered the avast is no more protecting my system. So I un-installed it but I noticed I still have it on my desktop that I had to install karspersky but the same happened to it after I un-installed it when I have used up the trial version. What can be done? I don't want to format the system.
Give your system a full scan with malwarebytes anti malware and let's see what pops up.

I've scanned it and it brought out 186 problems, 6 of them are malware which I have since deleted. But I don't know what to do with remaining PUP, I don't know which to delete so I won't delete any system file.

Yeah man!

You said "there were hidden objects which could be malicious", how did you know that

Also, you want "to unhide hidden objects", which mean...you want the hidden objects to be shown or visible to you.

In that case, open any folder on your PC, from the Ribbon above, where you have (Home, Share, View, Manage), select View, Go to the section where you have Show/Hide, there you can check or uncheck hidden items as the need may be. When it is checked, the hidden files are visible and vice versa.

Hope that solves your problem.

N.B: most necessary system files are hidden, try not tamper with them.

How I knew they could b malicious is that the anti virus report scan said so. And the laptop has been malfunctioning, like when I boot it, instead of going to the home screen it goes to library. Also when I am scrolling with the scroll bar to view items it is always scrolling to the base, no matter how hard I scroll up, it must scroll down, and when I go to the home screen it is always the last shortcut folder icon that is highlighted and if I try to click on any icon or button on the screen, it is always the last folder that will open. Example the last folder icon on my screen is smadav and I want to click on jet audio shortcut icon, it is smadav that ll open. And when I send data to my phone after disconnecting the use cable, I ll be seeing new empty folders in my received compartment of my phone, folders I didn't create. I v scanned the system with every anti virus known to man, but they keep saying no virus detected, only hidden objects found and another anti virus said warnings 74. Don't know what that means. But google said warnings ain't a threat, it means that some data couldn't be scanned, sir, I am thinking of formatting it. How can I formatting it to make the hard disk as blank as new? And would the virus survive the formatting? How reliable is f disk formatting?

I also feel it's a msconfig problem. The picture below is the exact same headache I am facing right now.

What you describe is an over heating issue. Simplest way to solve it is to get a cooling mat.

check the processor whether it is heating up or not. If not test it with another processor.

Dudes take am easy na...d guy is only trying to be helpful. Whilst his spelling and some other stuff might be questionable, he's diagnosis of the system over heating is to a large extent (98.9%) spot on and me thinks that's what matters.

The funny part about the whole thing really is that there is no Nvidia in that system. cheesy Nah AMD GPUS the thing dey run on.

Spot on my 12inch rump! Make the guy go learn work well he no gree.

Our Weather does not support it. grin The guy nah joker!


Look at the way he described the Nividai he was talking about. He probably thinks Nvidia is a company that makes PCs that over-heat. Clown of the highest order.

I don't even know why u guyz are the ones calling the shots here? The Gamer section crew should just take over cos u guys are clueless.

See the PCs ppl are wasting money purchasing. Redundant old and dead laptops.

All I asked was how he knew the laptop had an Nvidia product in it and I'm getting a lecture of how long he's been in the game for 6 years.

Issokay, now we no say d laptop dey die becos of nividai and I don't doubt it. It's nothing to do with the weather IMO. Laptop have a higher operating temperature limit than the ambient temps in Nigeria.

Tayepee, you may need to clean out the dust FIRST in the laptop. Dust can cause overheating if the heatsink and fan is clogged. Perhaps the video below will give you some courage to open up the laptop. If not visit a specialist as soon as possible.

Cooling mat/pads is a quick fix not a solution. Clean out dust first.

When I said spot on, I was referring to his over heating diagnosis cos let's face it, that is what the issue is and that is what is important to the user/OP). Knowing na Nvidia or AMD be the power behind the GPU doesn't in any way 'epp' the user/poster. Of course like I said, some of the things he said are questionable but in that regards (overheating) he was right.

As for being cluless bros, if you turn to a computer, TV or smartphone, I go scatter you and put you back in perfect working order with ma eyes closed...dats how 'clueless' I am.

The fact someone goofed and I chose not to be disrespectful about it or ridicule him don't mean I don't know my onions. This is a forum where peeps can come and learn, be corrected and become better for it. No one has a claim on knowledge, not even Solomon, the wisest man that ever lived so let your contribution be positive and geared towards helping peeps and not ridiculing, or putting peeps down.

Also your comment which I have put in italics, was uncalled for. No be everyone fit afford to buy a Bugatti or a Ferrari or a Porsche , even though everyone might wish it; and life bro, is in stages. If its what the OP fit afford for now, why make a mockery of it just because you can afford something better? Isn't it better he gets what he can afford and harnesses it do what he needs to do which would possibly generate income for him and afford him the opportunity to get something better in the nearest future than sit on his ass waiting for the money to buy a Bugatti? Abi if e come meet you say guy gimme money to buy better lapi, you go give him? Talk true o.

There's nothing more annoying than stating the problem and not giving a solution. According to zyzxx, "yea it a nividia product and overheating are there problem".. no a solution.. c'mon..if he knows so much..he'd offer one or if it's a service he'd like to get paid for then make arrangements with OP to do so.
