cant reboot after windows defender offline
hello, i read another similar but not sure what will apply in my case.... After being notified my computer was infected I followed the suggestion to use Windows Defender Offline to remove the trojan. Once completed, and having cleaned the trojan, the computer would not reboot. It has a black screen with a flashing curser in the top left. I cannot even get to a login screen or any other screen. I am typing this on a laptop as my desktop cannot even be used now. The infected computer is a Dell using Windows 7 professional (sadly, not sure if its 7 or 8)64bit. When I restart, I can do f2 or f12 (but not f8 nor f10). been trying to fix all day. please help if you can
