Please help us! My husband and I have been fighting viruses for a while now, however, today, we got a new surprise. Our screen display is now PURPLE!
We really don't want (can't) restore from system restore as it is currently turned off while we are getting rid of a host of viruses that have managed to infect our computer.
Is there any way to fix this? Thanks for any help you can give us.
