Ok here’s the thing, there’s this nasty virus (I suspected it to be a virus since it blocked access to almost every program and feature on the system, even disabling and uninstalling anti-virus and other programs) that blocks everything from being accessed. It blocks even installing programs and uninstalling them. So far it has blocked only files like pictures, Office files, and certain programs and installation. I don’t know yet what other things it has blocked, but it hasn’t blocked anything critical yet. Can anyone offer any solutions? Hopefully something that doesn’t involve reformatting the unit.
