So I use avast free version
been working great
today i get a message from avast program that said it had quarantined a virus and asked me wha to do with it. i said to remove it
then avast told me it had an updt available and i needed to reboot
i did that
when my PC came back on none of my usb drivers were working--only the one that the mouse is hooked into
( i am now on my pc in the basement that my son uses for gaming)
i asked the guy who built this gaming pc for me about it and he said that there may have been some kind of virus that avast didn't catch that damaged the drivers
he told me to go in and remove the drivers then re-install them
my machine is windows 8 and the directions he gave me seem to be for W7 or earlier (diff look to the control panel,etc) and i dont have a keyboard so i cant type any commands,etc--just click
has this kind of thing happened to anyone else?specifically with your usb drivers becoming inop?
