Hey all. I have a 6mos old hp envy that at the time of purchase I bought webroot to go with it.
Yesterday I got off the pc to do some yard work and my teenage son got on. He later left and when I got on to check football scores it was a mess.
I couldnt type numbers, only the special symbols came up, caps lock was reversed and if I left clicked on my desktop all of the remaining apps highlighted. I tried turning off sticky keys , clearing cache etc. Nothing worked.
Also...
Many of my programs were uninstalled including my webroot, and in its place was Norton which I don't care for. I asked my son what happened and he said he has no idea, and in his defense his steam games were all removed as well.
I went ahead and scanned with the norton trial and nothing showed up but I still couldnt use my number keys so I shut the system off for the night. This morning I turned it back on and was able to type numbers now, I went to cnet and installed avast and got rid of norton and rescanned, again nothing at all showed up. We just moved and I havent been able to relocate my webroot cd, but I want to get in reinstalled.
I just have an uneasy feeling something is on my system and I can't find it. A lot of programs were removed.
Have any of you ever heard of a virus like that?
Also, I think I like avast but it doesnt come with a firewall from what I can se. Are there any free firewalls out there until I recover my webroot? I don't like being exposed.
Thanks.
