  • A virus can cause a computer to slow down, stop working or loose all files on it.
  • This is not the only thing that might have happened though. If you've downloaded any new drivers lately for your hardware that could stop devices from functioning properly. Try starting Windows in safe mode (See related questions).
  • If the problem is to do with the internet, check with your ISP (Internet Service Provider) that your internet connection is working. Make sure the computer is connected to your router correctly, and if it's wireless that it's within range and connected.
