Hi,

I have recently gone back to computer gaming. I opened up and old laptop (thought to have had a virus on it) to see if it would run at all and if i could still use it. I found sucess in this for atleast 1 week.. until my laptop decided to start opening internet windows over and over again. Whether it is chrome firefox or anything. the same issue occurs. It has Norton 360 security on it and they say they cannot detect anything. i have tried factory resets. deleting all browser add ons and still nothing. 

 

Is this fixable? or should i invest in a new laptop or pc? as it is quite and old laptop. Although i have seen alot of people have had the same problem and some of them have had the issue resolved.
