Got this: Results of screen317's Security Check version 0.99.57 Windows 7 Service Pack 1 x64 (UAC is enabled) Internet Explorer 9 ``````````````Antivirus/Firewall Check:``````````````[/u] Windows Security Center service is not running!

Then was unable to get back into Safe mode because my touch pad and keyboard were inoperative. Tried Control-Alt-Delete and hard shutdown (removing battery). Cannot get into normal mode either. My computer is stuck on the log-in screen, with my password. I guess I did not make myself clear. I could not run ESET because I could not get past my log-on screen. While booting up, I could use the arrow keys to get into Safe Mode, Normal Mode, etc, but once the log-on screen appeared, the touch-pad and the keys were disabled. Thus I could not log in to Windows 7. Problem persisted despite removing and replacing battery, leaving battery out for a few minutes and replacing it, recharging overnight, etc. Checked with Lenovo forum; they suggested OneKey Recovery, which would return my machine to factory default. Then I would have to reinstall software and rebuild DATABASE from scratch. I have backups but the thumbdrives may have malware on them. Do you have any other suggestions? Thanks. Quote they suggested OneKey Recovery, which would return my machine to factory default. Then I would have to reinstall software and rebuild database from scratch. I have backups but the thumbdrives may have malware on them. Do you have any other suggestions? Thanks.The Recovery is probably your best bet. Just hold the SHIFT key while inserting your thumbdrives and this will prevent the transfer of infections. If you need to get into your computer to save any important data please let me know and I'll help you with that.OneKey Recovery implemented. Now building my databases. Computer does not appear to have a problem now. Thanks for all your help. You're welcome. I will lock this thread. If you need it re-opened, please send me a pm. |
