angela2000   10 #1 Posted September 14, 2010 Hi have an acer notepad aspire one. Unfortunately the antivirus software ran out and a friend used the notepad. I now seem to have antivirusGT that is stopping any programs running. I have tried to get into windows defender but it wont let me turn it on something to do with group policy? I tried to do a system restore I dont know if it worked but now the problem is when I turn it on I get to the log in page i log on and it says welcome but then nothing happens and i just get a blank screen. Any help would be appreciated. Thankyou in advance  Please keep it simple Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
