Hello,
I downloaded Filezilla last week - unfortunately from the wrong site. Directly afterwards I noticed Taplika in my browser. I removed Taplika from the browsers extensions, since I thought, I just downloaded some program I didn't want. I did not see a warning from my antivirus (avast). I don't know, if I missed it or if it never showed. I used the pc normally for 3-4 days. Didn't notice anything.
Yesterday I tried to uninstall Taplika via programs/features tab, mostly because it seemed to be an annoying add-on, which alreday put an icon in my taskbar. When uninstalling the antivirus warned me about malware and suggested to restart and scan. I clicked ok/restart. The pc tried restarting but crashed and adviced me to restore, which I did. I went directly to the programs tab again and saw that there was even an WSE taplika program which I tried to uninstall as well. The same happened again: warning to restartand scan, crash, restore.
Then the screen went black when entering windows. I shut down a few times, restarted again and sometimes I was lucky and got to my desktop. I tried opening my browser (chrome), nothing, I tried opening firefox and got taplika again.
I shut down and restarted some time later, black screen. At first I could open task manager, but didn't notice anything special (propably because I simply didn't know what to look for...). And now it's only black, if I can get the task manager to open, it says "no active apps".
I saw the other thread by JammerW, who had the same problem, but I don't know where to start trying to repair it, since I can't even get into windows...
Thanks in advance for advice!
