My computer is real old. 2008 Toshiba Microsoft Home Edition. On April 1-6, it says that Microsoft will stop a security system installed on every Microsoft computers. (I mean old computers, not the new ones.) BTW, it said that my computer may be at risk of getting a virus, so that's why I don't download stuff. Recently, I was on the forum posting the link below.

When I was posting it, my computer shut down BY itself, so, I tried to write the same question again when a blue screen came out and said:
Please don't shut down. It will shut down automatically.
It said many more things, but I didn't get to read it because it went too fast. Then, after my computer fixed the serious error, I don't want to do much on my computer. Can you please help? Thanks. Will give points too.
I use a program called Malwarebytes to scan for viruses....it even has a feature that "sidesteps" viruses that try to prevent you from accessing virus protection software. After a scan, if something is found, it will allow you to quarantine it.
Your problem sounds like mine.....I ran a REALLY old HP (circa 2003) up until this Feb. It had an XP operating system and I had to recover from "crashes" at least 3 times...but, after awhile..it just wasn't worth it and it finally conked out!!
I suspect that you're going to be better off buying a new laptop (or something comparable). I'm running Windows 8 and I can tell you the difference is night and day between this Samsung laptop and that old HP desktop computer. I've had "zero" virus problems.......
If you can hold off, Windows 9 is in the works....it's supposed to be better than 8....!!!
Sorry for your computer ptoblems......
I have CCleaner, but I don't know how to use it. Can you please help me out?
