[QUOTE="craigwf, post: 346301, member: 31870"] Argus, hard to believe but it came back again, this time worse than ever. After signing in to Windows, so many things are starting up that she gets a black screen for 5 to 10 minutes with only the occasional pop-up inviting her to register PC Protect. I found out how to get to a command prompt with administrative authority and ran system file checker which said some files are corrupt and could not repair them. I was able to copy her important documents to a flash drive and told her she needs to spend some money ($69 from Lenovo) to get the Recovery Media so she can wipe her hard drive and re-install Windows 8.1 from scratch. It amazes me that none of the tools we used was able to find the base file that was opening her pc to all that malware. [/QUOTE]
