Okay, this is gonna get really confusing so just stick with me here.
My dad works for a company similar to hud and he found a laptop. He gave me the laptop, and with me never having one i wanted to reformat it. A friend of mine told me she had a disk to reformat a computer so I thought it would work...when it was finished I turned the laptop back on, to see that it didn't reformat it, it was a disk to install window's xp. I put in the serial number and it said it didn't recognize it. So my friend had a guy she knew come over and look at it. He typed in some code on my laptop and he fixed it. He told me that the code itself was a trojan but it wasn't gonna harm anything. And he told me to do a scan everyday with AVG but not to remove the trojan. Well, now i have another trojan that came out of no where...how exactly am i supposed to know which one is which. And if I reformat the laptop will it go back to the install screen? i don't want to screw my laptop up anymore. I just need someone who knows what they're talking about fix it. Any suggestions?
