My computer has a virus and I have to reformat my computer. I can not get to the internet with this computer and trying to find where the bookmarks are saved on the hard drive.

This happened

Not sure how often

== The virus started preventing me from connecting to the internet on Friday.

We have the same problem. First thing I did is make a back up files then reformat the computer and install and update the Bitdefender antivirus.
