can't get an anti virus in freshly reset DELL ibspiron
Hi,
I have a new DELL Inspiron. While trying to set it up, I must have made a mistake. I Accidentally made some files hidden, I was unable to do this mistake. So I flattened the system (called resetting the system and reinstalling windows). The flattening gave me an inexpertly result. I die not have to reactivate windows nor was my niame removed. Now I cannot install an anti virus. I've try Avast (preferred), AVG and ESET. All time out without any success. I just successfully download from Sourge Forge and successfully installed it. Awaiiting a response AND I will be glad to supply more information. dewey |

This is an example of an AVG URL. http://files-download.avg.com/inst/m...e_x64_1818.exe You can also go here and there is a download for Windows 10. https://www.avg.com/en-us/windows-10-antivirus Apparently the number on the end of the download, indicates what OS or OSes it is intended for. ******* If "your name was preserved", that sounds like a refresh rather than a reset. If you damaged some system files, maybe the refresh isn't enough to fix it. It would depend on whether the files were related to the profile somehow (a part a refresh would not touch), or the files were located somewhere else. If you reinstall the OS completely, the first boot, the OS shows up in "sealed" state. And you enter your name and password and set up an account on it and so on. You would also have to reinstall programs though. And you would likely want to store the installers for those programs, some place safe. Paul |
