How do you reboot a Laptop that has Windows 7? - gm14 - 03-01-2013 09:25 AM
I got a virus last night. I clicked a "Facebook Like" on Facebook and all of a sudden these pop ups started to come up saying my computer was infected. I have two Anti-viruses on my Laptop already and was just wondering how to reboot a Laptop that has Windows 7?
Two Virus Protections not Two Anti Viruses, sorry.

I think you mean system restore? if so just go type "system restore' in search bar, if that doesn't work boot in safe mode ( reboot and when booting keep taping 'f8') and than try it. That should fix it, and two anti-virusses can act up, you're better off with one..

Re-boot = Turn off, then back on.
Re-start = Turn off, then back on.
Restore = Go back to a specific date/time, undo changes.
Re-install = A new operating system, all data erased.
Recover = Return to 'Factory Default Settings' (as new/out of the box).
Which one do you mean?
If you want to Recover it, post the make/model and I'll tell you how to access the recovery partition (if present).
NOTE:Some manufacturers allow a non-destructive recovery.

EDIT: Two Virus Protections, IS Two Anti Viruses!

IT'S A SCAM. Seriously, if it says you have a virus and to "click here" it'll likely give you a virus. Rebooting a computer literally means turning it off, then turning it on again. If the problem is more serious, you may need to wipe your drive, and reinstall the operating system, this should only be a last resort. I hope you keep backups.

Click on the windows button (previously known as the start button), click 'All programs' >>> 'Accesssories' >>> 'System Tools' and then 'System Restore'
Click next then select a restore point before all your problems started.
