yesterday morning, after playing battlefield 3, i let panda gp run a virus scan & it came back w/ nothing, and i shut it down. the next time i started it, it took forever for my windows cpu, and gpu gadgets to come on, and the HD gadget wouldnt come on at all. the cpu activity was going nuts, and i checked, but couldnt figure out what it was actually doing. ctrl alt delete would not work at all, and it took forever to do anything at all. i updated the gadgets the night before and thought maybe i had downloaded a virus/malware w/ them, but like i said, pandaGP came back w/ nothing on the scan and it was freshly updated.
so i restarted in safe mode and none of this behaviour was there, i tried restoring to an earlier date and repairing windows but it would not LET me, and the problems seemed to be getting worse. i figured the best option at that point would be to do an F9 restore, which i did.
Anyways, after the F9 restore, everything seems to be back to normal, but this freaked me out. i do absolutely NO browsing on it, i do that on my iphone. the only time i even use a browser is to DL drivers. the G75VW is my new laptop and all I use it for is gaming. i do all the other stuff and work from my G74SX. anybody have any idea what could have caused this so that i can avoid it in the future?
