Laptop Woes

Hey guys heres the new problem that started last night:

Randmly, my screen will just go black. The computer is still on but I cant see anything. I ran a spybot search and destroy, and i did a recovery thing on the computer. I deleted everything that spybot found but this Zango thing that wont delete. Any ideas? :-\

Google "CC Cleaner" and run that. It will scan your hd and also has a registry tool. Then under tools use that to remove the Zango program. Its spyware that comes packaged with other things. Get rid of any toolsbars you have installed too.

hijackthis works good too

black? look closer. is the display still on, just not lit? the backlight on the display could be on its way out, or there might be a loose connection.

ill try those things you guys suggested when i get home, and adam, someone else had said that on a forum i tried to research on, it was dark in my room and i dont think i could see anything, then again i was most likely half asleep hahaha I think I have a virus, I reformatted my computer a bunch of times last spring because of vista issues and got tired of reputting it back on there and i guess i just never did... :-\

the best thing out there right now is malwarebytes. d/l that, update it, and run a full scan. if that still doesnt work do whatever you can to make it liveable, i can wipe it clean phresy and new at motorama if its still fux0r3d then.
