My laptop isn't making noises any more...Computer people please help.

[Syka]

Last night I ran a virus scan, and it came up with nothing. Admittedly, there was a crud load of spyware. But...I'm still having issues with a popup that I had happen many moons ago also. (It's like WinCleaner or something...I know it's a trojan or what have you).

Everything is being recognized, there are no question marks. He had me check that.

I haven't had any other problems with Stan, other than the spyware (which is being dealt with) and some wireless connectivity (which only happens at home, and Dell is aware).

I swear, this poor thing is more trouble than it's worth. If my sound really does die for good I might just go and get a desktop. Heck, this boy already pretty much functions as one.

Cheers,
Syka

EDIT: I'm still looking for this supposed built in microphone I have...>>'
