my grandson has a Windows XP dell laptop and it says on it now that the system is infected.someone asked if a Tosihiba start up kit would be able to go on it and fix it.would it or does it have to be a Dell product?also would it help with a Windows Me 2000 to fix also?Would a Toshiba start up kit help on a Dell XP laptop to help rid the viruses?I would recommend downloading Malwarebyte's Anti-malware (free version). Download it from the following website and run a full scan. It is very good at removing all sorts of infections (plus it's free!)
