Computer facts:

Once a new type of virus, worm, trojan, spyware or other malware is released, it takes a few days (or even weeks) for programmers to design a virus signature database, to enable the anti-virus programs to recognize and detect the new computer threat. During that period of time your computer is bound to get infected.

Also the one thing most virus infections do, is to corrupt your installed anti-virus program so that it will not be able to recognize the infection.

While Linux and even Mac OS are relatively safe operating systems, Windows is the most vulnerable operating system when it comes to virus infections.

That is why, if you use the Windows operating system, sooner or later you will get infected by a virus or other malware. That's guaranteed, no matter what you do.

Once your desktop computer or laptop gets infected, scanning and attempting to remove that virus (or malware) in a Windows environment, with an already corrupted anti-virus program, won't help solve the problem.

Here is the best way to remove a virus:

What you should do if you know or suspect that your Windows computer was infected by a virus, worm, trojan or other malware:

Go to a different, healthy, non-infected PC or laptop and download both the BitDefender and the Kaspersky Anti-virus Recovery CD's (free downloads).

Download links for both:

http://download.bitdefender.com/rescue_cd/

http://support.kaspersky.com/viruses/rescuedisk

Burn both downloaded iso files to CD with an iso burner software. If you do not have an iso burning software installed, I recommend getting the CDBurnerXP (free software) from here:

Once you burned the recovery CD's, return to the infected computer and put the BitDefender Anti-virus Recovery CD in your CD/DVD drive and boot from CD (set your boot up options in BIOS to CD boot as first option if it does not boot from CD at first)

Once your infected computer boots into the Recovery CD Linux environment, first update the virus definition database from the Internet server, than perform a complete scan of your desktop computer or laptop (all hard drives and/or partitions). Remove (delete) any infections found, and shut down your desktop computer or laptop.

Remove the BitDefender Anti-virus Recovery CD and insert the Kaspersky Anti-virus Recovery CD.

Repeat the same procedure as for BitDefender above.

After scanning with those 2 Anti-virus Recovery CD's, your system should be virus free, and will function properly again.

Good luck.

I am really not familiar with that laptop. I have changed out a lot of laptop hard drives. Most I have experienced has 2 screws in the bottom. Loosen those screws

and lift the door. There is a black cord you can use to unplug it with. Just pull outward on the cord. Then just lift the hard drive out.

It relies upon what form you have. there's a instruction manual for each form on the Dell website which tells you the screws you are able to desire to undo. you basically form on your provider tag (frequently placed on a decal on the backside of your pc) and it would be in there someplace. The perplexing rigidity bumped off is frequently 2.5" and could slot in maximum laptops. in case you desire to get right of entry to the records on a computer you will could desire to purchase a casing/converter for the connector form, this is distinctive to that of three.5"
