Hey guys so recently after getting hacked on a few of my accounts I decided to strengthen up security and installed a free antivirus by the name of Avast. I also downloaded Ccleaner and malware bytes for quick scans to get rid of any viruses I may have had.
Malware bytes found a few dangerous files and I removed all of them. I started up avast and scanned with that as well, after 45 minutes or so it restarted my computer automatically and Before it fully started up again avast was performing a more in depth scan. It was searching files in my C:/ I think. Anyways this procedure was taking an incredibly long time and after being stuck at 20% for 1 hour I decided to skip this procedure and pressed ESC.
After I did this however windows 8 started acting a bit weird. I restarted my computer and on the user select screen ( 2 accounts my main, and an "other" account) it would keep reloading again and again every second. I can't click anything fast enough before it reloads so in essentially stuck on this page until I restart my computer. After 1 restart, sometimes 2-3 it gets better. Than comes my next problem. It occurs sometimes right on log in and sometimes a bit after. My screen is blue. Completely. Blue as in the color of the theme I have chosen. I can open up task manager but that's about all. It's completely blue which means I can't click on anything or do anything. So I try logging out, and I go back to the user select screen in which the first problem occurs again. After a few restarts I'm able to use my computer for a while without any troubles but I don't want this problem to persist.
EDIT : Screen is black not blue.
EDIT 2 : Restarting computer is no longer fixing the problem temporarily. Either stuck on black screen or Flashing user select screen.
Anyone know anything about this? If you don't quite get my problem I can try sending you a video of what happens.
Thanks again!
