| | I'm pretty sure it's a virus. When I was copying things from my laptop to my desktop, my desktop started acting the same way as my laptop was. Then I deleted all of the files I just transferred off of my desktop and ran norton and it's working fine again. Would you happen to know how to get rid of the virus? |
