Hi ivatarmoon,
Welcome to Major Geeks!

Please go through the instructions in the READ & RUN ME FIRST so we can look at your logs. If you can't do something, go to the next thing. If you can't do anything in normal mode, see if you can run anything in safe mode, although normal mode is our first choice. If you get any of the requested logs, please attach them here using the manage attachments button.

Let me know how this goes.

Hi ivatarmoon,
You're welcome!

I'm glad things are working better now. If you'd like us to check your logs, please attach them. We do this because some forms of malware leave behind files which allow them to start up again.
