Unfortunately, the only way I've found to be completely rid a machine of this is to wipe the hard drive and reload the operating system. This is an advertisement virus and this particular bug leaves several sleepers that lie inactive making it near impossible for any antivirus to find them. Once you get rid of the active virus, one or two, but not all of the sleepers will activate leaving several more hidden and inactive, and what makes it even harder to "get rid of" is that it hides the sleepers in file that your antivirus normally doesn't check on a regular basis, ie... picture files, music, screen savers, etc.. It will also hide them in registry files, so doing a system repair won't work either.

Is there a switch to turn on the headphone port? Is there a control on the headphones to adjust the volume (on a volume level on the side of the laptop)? Also, when the headphones are plugged into the laptop, go into your sound settings and turn up the master volume (and wave volume if it is low.. If that works, make sure to turn it back down when disconnecting the headphones).

Also, do the headphones work in another device (stereo, etc..)?

simply remove hard drive and connect it externally with usb connector for hard drive depending on type sata or ide cable is pretty inexpensive.

We'll hope she hasn't entered a BIOS password...seems doubtful. On a differerent computer. you can find a download site where you can obtain the Geek Squad MRI disc, burn it and boot her computer from that CD. In the password section you can activate Samurai Password program and it will erase the passwords and she can start over.

Hi,Had the same problem myself. Drove me absolutely crazy!!!My mate Manuel couldn't get sound either, and we were Skyping. So I rang the shop and Bill the guy who works there says you need to turn the volume up. So I did and we Skyped for like 8 hours but Manuel got a pain in his belly and had to go. I think he had diahorrea but didn't want to say it, in case the government was listening to us skyping.Kind Regards
