Symantec gave me a malware warning and then I had a pop up from microsoft, now some websites are lagging

I've had my current computer for almost a year now and it's held up pretty well. It's given me no trouble thus far. Some time ago I purchased Symantec for $300. Now into my issue:

I was away from my computer for about an hour and a half. I had Youtube open and the only other tabs open were Tumblr and maybe Facebook. When I went back to my computer, I immediately got a pop up from Symantec saying they detected "pornographic malware" and that they were blocking the malware ip for x seconds. Immediately after I got a pop up from Microsoft telling me to contact Microsoft support etc etc.

Now I'm no stranger to looking up porn on my computer but typically all my porn viewing comes from Reddit and Tumblr. The only time I access a straight up porn website is on my iPhone.

I'm running a full scan with Symantec right now, but in the mean time, some of my websites are being very laggy and strange. I'm not sure if this is the result of a virus or something completely unrelated. Granted, my desktop is due for a cleaning, but the timing of it is concerning.

Here's my specs.

certain keys on my keyboard dont work when "cold"

Hi guys, i have a Lenovo Y520-15IKBN (80WK) and certain keys on the keyboard don't work (e,g,h,8,9,Fn...) but only when the weather is cold. for example in the winter it used to work after certain amount of time when i first boot the laptop and stops working when i stop using it for a while, but now that the weather is hot it works just fine except for the first couple of minutes or when its colder. of course i do realise that it has nothing to do with the outside weather but with the temperature of the computer itself. can someone explain to me why this is happening and how it should be fixed as i cannot take it to the tech service until july even though it's still under warranty because i need it for school. ps: an external keyboard works fine.

Old PC with a Foxconn n15235 motherboard needs drivers! Help!!

So my Pc corrupted and I had to fresh install windows on it, but now its missing 3 drivers and one of them is for the Ethernet controller! I've tried searching everywhere for the windows 7 drivers but all I seem to find are some dodgey programs saying they will install it for me. Problem is without the ethernet driver I can't bloody connect to the internet. I've been using a USB to try get some drivers on there, but they just end up being useless programmes . I'm also a bit of a noob at these things, I don't understand where to find the names of things in my PC, I've opened it up but I don't understand whats significant and what isnt. If someone has the drivers and can teach me how to install them I'd be very appreciative! Submitted April 29, 2018 at 02:47PM by darrilsteady https://ift.tt/2r76xMZ
