    I turned on my laptop to find that my login was acting weird. It was saying the program that runs Window Explorer was corrupt and unusable. My Login was acting weird too, saying that there was an error in a application. A detail I don't wanna leave out is that so far, pretty much everything I'm running is functional. IDK what's going on.

    Edit: I think I may have it under control. AVG attacked the issue which turned out to be a malicious virus trying to attack my computer and steal info from me. It's been detected and contained by the system.

    Here is an update. I am fine now. After AVG removed the virus, I did a windows update and restarted my computer. The check disk kicked in and fixed any remaining issues, and the updates finished up. I'm back in working order again. Sorry for freaking out but it seriously scared me when I saw errors. I lost a few laptops in the past and I don't wanna lose this one. This topic can be locked now if any staff are present.
