Do I need to do a virus scan on my computer?
Hello everyone. Can anyone tell me if I indeed need to do a virus scan because last night I was trying to burn a DVD on computer and it (my computer) experienced an "unexpected" shut down and now this morning my computer did not want to start up correctly. Do I need to need to do a virus scan and if so, do I need to do this in safe mode first?. If anyone could help me on this I'd really appreciate it thanks!

Any unexpected shutdown is addressed by design intent by your operating system at the very next startup. Usually selecting "start normally" is all that is required.
You will see this following a power outage or any forced emergency shutdown. It is a part of Windows.

it doesn't seem like a virus problem.. however update your virus guard and run a full scan for you convenient. Try to check drive errors.. defragment your partitions and check drive errors on my computer properties. better run a chkdsk command on cmd to remove bad sectors. in order to do that open CMD as admin and type
chkdsk C: /f /r and press enter and follow the instruction, for the windows drive it'll set it the check for restart and when you restart PC next time it will check the errors on the drive and fix it and will remove the bad sectors and it may take about 30mins.
