    Hello,

    I am using sony vaio VPCCW1BGN model. recently my laptop was infected by malwares and I used different anti-spywares to clean my system. After all these process my "personal safe" icon in the my computer disappeared. I am able to locate the file .swp in the "protector suite" of C:\.../appData/Roaming/Protector suite.

    any suggestions to enable the personal safe will be appreciated.

    Regards,
    Vijay

    Try their official site for drivers etc and see if it's there.

    And even if your warranty is up they should still help you online.

    Thanks for the suggestions, I just installed the "protector suite" from sony vaio, now i got back the personal safe.
    I have reinstalled the nvidia driver also, now everything is ok, but my display is turned into light blue colour. I dont know why its happening.
