    Quickweb is suppose to connect to the inet w/o loading windowz.

    However, it is suppose to do it only when u press the QW button when it is off. maybe the button is sticking.

    Viruses load under an OS and this isn't an OS that is running this. The only thing u can do is access the inet.

    There are many different opinions about the best antivirus available. I tried a lot of softwares and in my opinion the last version of Avira antivirus is for sure the best. This is the website where I've downloaded Avira for free http://j.mp/1r4WCEn

    Since I installed it, I never had any type of problem with my pc

    Turn off Quick web. It will then boot straight to Windows.

    When you press the power button start tapping F10 key and the BIOS setup will open. Select System Configuration(on top) and look for boot options. Under boot options there should be an option to Enable/Disable Quickweb.
