I believe you are correct, but be careful as I suspect that the initial problem was caused by a virus.

Good luck

Hi,

Factory reset will bring back the lappy to it's original state, therefore all data and applications which were not there when the machine was purchased will be deleted.

Can you boot in safe mode with networking ?

Regards
