    So the other day on my HP laptop, MSE said there was alureon.a, i clicked clean and it said i should download windows defender offline, so i did and ran it, no infections found, whenever i restarted my computer, the same process happened. Today, it wont even boot up! It starts the windows screen, flashes to blue, and repeats the process, it was also redirecting my google. Any help would be awesome (and i don't want to restore it to factory settings if i can!) Thanks :)
