14th Oct Virus?

My laptop was fully shutdown on 14th oct and recovered again on 15th oct. the
laptop couldnot even read the operating system and could not do
anything....... It sometimes blacked out the screen and I couldn't see
anything... but it back to normal the next day. The only thing is not normal
is my antivirus lost all the root certificate. Is there any virus running on
that day? I am using ZA with Av and it couldnot see the virus

Sounds more like you have the start of a hardware issue.

Who said you had a virus ?

That sounds like a faux conclusion.

Do you mean that you used "System Restore"?

the laptop couldnot even read the operating system and

What was the exact error message received?

The only thing is not normal is my antivirus lost all the root
certificate. Is there any virus running on that day? I am using ZA

Normal is a setting on my dryer(and it doesn't always work)

That sounds like a faux conclusion.

Sounds like a problem between keyboard and chair.

no, I'm not. It was running again like normal.

What was the exact error message received?
no message at all. It worked sometimes for 10 seconds (just like normal
running) and sometimes the screen was off (nothing I could see)

The only thing is not normal is my antivirus lost all the root
certificate. Is there any virus running on that day? I am using ZA
with Av and it couldnot see the virus

Normal is a setting on my dryer(and it doesn't always work)..... ha ha ha you're funny

I was just guessing..... that's the only conclusion when you often surf on
the net

No -- It isn't.

The only way you can conclude you have a virus or other malware is if you have a specific
set of "software" symptoms and/or if AV software flagged an infector.

well the prove that My Antivirus couldnot started anymore until I reinstalled
it again is convincing me (my root certificate were lost displayed as the
information).
After that I changed my Zaw/AV to kav, and it found many trojans loose from
my previous AV

Trojans don't do that. They WANT the PC to be somewhat funtional sothey can do the routines
contained within their payload. To shotdown a PC would be self defeating.

It sounds coincidental that you had the un-named Trojans andthe shutdown.
