    Well, this morning I ran Ccleaner, but I did not do registry, so I dont think thats the problem. After, the the laptop said Superfetch was not working, I diagnosed, but had no internet, even though on anther laptop is was working. So I restarted, but it said it could not start, so and said it went back to a Restore Point. It still does not work with SuperFetch, and only occasionally works with internet. Oh also, suddenly the screen goes black and then goes back.

    Could this be a virus?

    Please Help,


    (P.S. I am typing this on a different laptop)

    It could be a virus. Have you tried logging into Safe Mode and running some scans? Do that first. Otherwise, you could just save what you can and reformat.
