My one is from PCS in 2013 I may have had 3 years but cant remember. My dads is from PC world in 2012 so i dunno why he thinks hes still covered.

That's what I thought but cant reason with my dad.

Ok thank you.

Is this an easy simple fix if you know what you doing? I got like 3 android phones, two android tablets, two linux desktops one window 11 laptop (my dads) a gaming desktop in the next 3 months, one smart TV and 5 consoles connected/ NVIDIA shield TV to the WiFi. That's a lot of work.

Can Viruses Spread Over Wi-Fi?

Can they remove any threat on my PC without reinstalling the data on the drive external or internal? My sister partner works with PC's but i wont see him till the end of next year. Edit: My dad said the warranty is void becuse I put Linux on a windows 7 pc and will no longer fix it or replace...

I installed the OS and moved the data from the external drive back on the pc without scanning it with an AV but I did not open the files itself. So I need to re install the OS and don't open the drive but Scan it with a AV first? Edit: Linux does not have any antivirus programs. Just built in...

That went over my head what do you mean by How do you disinfect a data drive, without connecting it to the system? I'm not mocking you but I'm getting so lost lol. I want to get this right as in about 3 months I'm getting a new desktop for 3 grand on here as this is such a big investment...

What does disinfect mean, do you mean use an anti virus program to scan the external drive? Im Autistic its hard to grasp this, i think im going to find a group that does work on pcs, there so much i don't understand. I feel like at this point i'm being a pain. Edit: I don't understand the term...

Ahhh the OS drives makes sense.

I'm at loss as my external drive has important data that I cant loose. In linux install, I completely wiped the hard drive in the linux desktop and then installed OS. I typed in neofetch and come back with no errors. This desktop only has one internal drive. With my second desktop it had two...
