Was on line writting an email an had this happen . I got what looked like small note card going from corner to corner with a little blue square in the upper left hand corner and a blue line running through them. All the icons disappeared , keyboard and mouse would not work. The only way I could remove it was to turn off the power .
When I got home from work and turned the computer back on all I get is a black screen.
So I have tried all of the following.
First removed the cable to the monitor and get the test light on the monitor. checked it with the old pc and it is working fine. Then had to remove the cpu fan ( the one on this pc is like a blower more then a fan.) I wonted to see if i could hear the processor fan working .It is working fine. Then I was going to try a memtest but could not get anything on the moniter so I don't know if it was running or not.
Removed all power to the pc and the battery for this would make it beep . got no beep when power was hooked back up. And I also noticed that when all cables are hooked up and power is turned on the keyboard and mouse don't work..
Once I get the virus software downloaded in the old pc I will check to see if the hard drive still works.
As for hijacks file I had ran one just before this happened but it was with WinPatrol and it was saved to file . If I can get the hard drive to work in this old computer I will post it.
