Hello all,
I am new to this site so if this is in the wrong forum I apologize and move it is possible. Laptop has been acting up over the last couple of months.
First off I run Windows 7 home pro on a Sager system (2 years old) and AGV antivirus a the time, now McAfee antivirus. I have ran MalwareBytes, CCLeaner, and SpeedyPCPro. All seem to find minor issues and have corrected them but none tackle the real issues listed below.
When this all started I went back to try and go to an earlier restore point which I know I had put several in when I purchased the laptop and every month afterwards automatically. Well they were all gone. They never existed according to the restore option.
Issues:
1. About half the time when I try to open any exe file from desktop and most from C drive, I receive a "These files can't be opened. Your Internet security settings prevented one or more files from being opened." I change the settings in IE11 and reboot or sometimes just reboot and it goes away then returns on next boot up
2. When trying to download files such as cleaners and antivirus, I click on the ""do you want to open or save file" I click on open and nothing happens. No acknowledgment or confirmation. I can save the files sometimes and run from the installer download. Other times I have to move it from another computer using thumb drives.
3. Some programs will not run. Eve Online is probably the one that I first noticed not able to run. Eve tech support could not come to a resolution.
4. I have been tempted to wipe the drive and start over but I have never done this without a windows disk and my system come without one (I have made the repair disc). Please let me know what to do if I have to go this route.
5. Computer processes seem much slower than normal.
I am not computer ignorant but I need more help than my amateur level can provide. Any help would be appreciated.
