@ The Man, Its a toshiba satellite l450-181.
@FootycardSteve. First thing to do is look at the back of you Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy - DONT PANIC!!.
I've downloaded the manual for you laptop and it says you have a recovery partition. if you decide to use this it will return your computer to the same as it was first day you turned it on. It will erase any files you have saved so if you have something important get a mate to try and get it off first. if you dont have anything important on it do the following...
1:Turn off computer
2: Hold 0 (ZERO) and turn on your computer.
A menu will come up and all you have to do is take your time, read everything carefully and follow the instructions. it should take you back to a pristine virus free factory state. Good luck!Comment
