Was it the right Windows 10 I installed?

Back in 2017 I got a new Acer laptop. I really liked it and couldn’t wait to play games (it was a gaming laptop).

In May 2018 (oddly specific I know, I like to remember dates), I installed Windows 10. The exact same day, around 2 hours after I installed Windows 10, I got a virus. I didn’t know what to do at the time so I left it a week to take it to Unicorn Computers.

During the week I started getting more viruses and it got to the point I got around 37 viruses.

Before I knew it, it started downloading random stuff. There was no (and still is) possible way of getting rid of the random files and the Dummy Pages 208 and 209 etc.

Then it soon got hacked.

I took it to Unicorn Computers and they said there was nothing to do about it- no possible way they knew of getting rid of the viruses, the files and the Dummy’s.

Like I said, it started happening around 2 hours after I downloaded Windows 10. I’m not sure if I downloading the wrong Windows 10 or not.

If someone has any theroies/suggestion please let me know. ☺️

What windows did you install and where you installed it from? Did you have nay viruses before installing the new windows?

I don’t think I had any viruses before that I know of and I installed Windows 10 from an advert that kept popping up on my screen. (**** adverts ;-;)

Was it an advert that appeared on a webpage or pop-up from windows?

I think it was a pop-up from windows.

There is probably a reason why you got these viruses. Have you visited any malicious websites or download something that you think may have been infected with a virus?

You can try factory resetting windows and choose 'remove the files and clean the drive'.

That’s one of the problems, it won’t let me do a factory reset for Windows and the only sites I’ve ever been on is Fandom (gotta search up dem characters), Wikipedia, Google Mail, Google Drive and memes (I’m sure you can understand da memes
