worm blaster froze my keyboard and mouse

How did you manage to type this up??? Unless you used different laptop :) WORM.BLASTER refers to the one which pops up a window saying "Computer shutting down in .... count down seconds" Anyway, what OS have you got installed?! The keyboard and mouse ... are they via PS/2 or USB connected!? if via PS/2 then try via USB (need keyboard or mouse with USB connector tho)

Do a factory restore. Then apply updates and security suite. Be sure to not use the admin account, make a limited user account and use runas when needed. Worms tend to be on usb drives and network drives also. Be careful to scan them. 1/3 of highway deaths are caused by drunks. The rest are by people who can't drive any better than a drunk.

obviously I used a different computer lol....i tried to connect via the usb for a different mouse....won't work.

I tried the pull out battery and hold the start for 30 sec. I also tried the button on the back...holding that down. I tried going on safe mode....same thing. As soon as it loads the 1st screen the mouse and keyboard wont work. I've tried to arow u and down...enter...the function key with the f7 and f3...etc. I was hoping there was a something else I missed. I appreciate the 2 responses...thanks!

Guess you could try a live cd to see if in fact the hardware is OK. 1/3 of highway deaths are caused by drunks. The rest are by people who can't drive any better than a drunk.

I dont have a cd drive and i dont have an external one to hook up to it. i will have to send it away to get it fixed i guess. my other computers r macs..i will most likely only buy macs in the future. i never have problems with them live i do this laptop. thanks for u suggestion!!!

Live usb would work. 1/3 of highway deaths are caused by drunks. The rest are by people who can't drive any better than a drunk.
