First, back up the important data in your hard disk, mainly copying the important data in the system disk to other disks. Note: Please format the hard disk and reinstall the operating system, rather than simply overwrite the installation mode, because in many cases, overwrite installation cannot solve the problem. If your computer's random drive CD is missing, you need to download the driver from our website. In addition, it is best to unplug the network cable when re-installing the operating system.

For reinstallation steps, refer to the following links:

After installing the operating system, do not rush to access the Internet. You must first install anti-virus software.

Therefore, do not install multiple anti-virus software on one computer.

In addition, the virus on the network is quite powerful during this time. Please pay attention to the following precautions:

1. After your computer has installed the system, you must first install an anti-virus software. For example, both rising star and Kingsoft drug overlord in China can be installed, as well as foreign Norton and Kaspersky. What's important is to be able to run viruses.

3. During normal internet access, do not click on unfamiliar websites or programs. Do not download the programs on some small websites. Viruses and Trojans are likely to be contained in the programs and attachments to unfamiliar emails.

Do not open it easily.

4. before downloading the installation program, it is best to scan and kill the program with a virus to prevent the destruction of malicious programs.

5. When using some external storage devices, such as USB flash drives and mobile hard disks, scan them with anti-virus software before copying files.
