Hello,

I have a Windows 7 computer and whenever I try to logon to my user account it automatically logs me off. And when I try to log on to the Administration account, it logs on, but the screen remains black. I am able to access safe mode but I don't know where to go from there. I don't want to do anything that will risk losing any data. I have had no problems with the computer before but the other day when my sister turned it on, she said it began doing something with the C drive? Since then we can't logon to our accounts.

Hello

It seems that someone (sister?) got a virus into that computer.

If you can get in safe mode with networking, you will get access to internet which will allow you to follow the following procedure:

To help you and prescribe the remedy, I must make a diagnostic and to do so, I require a log.

1. Open this link and download ZHPDiag2 :

https://www.zebulon.fr/telechargements/securite/systeme/zhpdiag.html

(Don't be alarmed is the site is in French, it sometimes happens, the tool will take your system language and allow the download if you get a warning message.)

2. Save the file on your Desktop.

3. Double click on ZHPDiag.exe and follow the installation instructions.

(For Vista and Win 7 users, click right to ensure you execute with admin right)

The tool creates three icons ZHPDiag, MRB, and ZHPFix (If necessary,we will use ZHPFix after log analysis).

4. Double click on the short cut ZHPDiag on your Destktop.

5. If you need to change the language, click on the little house, (bottom right) and change to English

6. Click on Full.

Wait for the tool to finished (maybe a long time)

7. Close ZHPDiag.

8. To transmit the report, click on this link :

https://authentification.site

9. Search the directory where you installed ZHPDiag (usually C:\desktop\zhpdiag.txt).

Signing off !Catch you tomorrow.
