It seems like a virus is preventing me from logging on to my computer. The computer starts just fine but upon turning on, the screen is just blank. I cannot access safe mode either. Just before I discovered this problem I had done a partial scan of my computer with MalwareBytes and removed the viruses I found. Upon this, I was asked to restart the computer. Please help! Thank you.
You might have to boot from your operating system disk and run a repair. The virus could have affected the mbr.
