Heeeeelp

My laptop suddenly turned very slow and keeps freezing. After a while a blue screen appeared saying bad pool header.. Turned it on again, opened avast and did full virus scan. Then at 40% the green circle turned into red.. Does that mean my laptop is infected?!

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    Omg you have avast? NO!!! I had that on my first laptop and it was the reason why my laptop had nearly died. Its a virus and if you cant get rid of it then you could be hacked by somebody.

    • My family uses Avast. Is it bad? We haven't had problems.(I think) I've told them many times to get a new anti virus but they think I'm a paranoid idiot.

        Im 70% sure its bad, Im not quite sure what kind of damages it does, because once i had downloaded it seemed fine but then I went to go check out all the reviews and reading them everyone said that Avast had given them some kind of viruses and that it needed to be removed. So I did try to remove it but then it wouldnt let me and everything went bigger on my screen and I didnt know what to do so i checked out the reviews about avast and every review i saw had exactly the same problem as me. There is another way to check if it is a virus is by using task manager in your toolbars and something else I forgot how to do it but you find all these other ips to see if someone is spying on you or have placed an unwanted programme and you can end the process but if you do decide to try it be careful not to remove files that are part of your laptops system as it can make it worser.

        • Yeah, I cant do any of that. My family won't even let me touch their computer because of the times I've downloaded new Anti Viruses. Thanks for responding.

    Infected yes. Is that what is really wrong maybe not. Have you installed any new software?

    Probably, is there a Geek Squad around to bring it to?
