I had one of those "ransom" viruses on my computer. After doing some research, it was recommended that I use "HitMan Kickstart" to remove the virus and the virtual lock on my computer. I did that, it seemed to work. Once back in my computer, I did a bunch of virus scans, but wasnt coming up with anything else. I wanted to run more tests the next day but turned the computer off for the night. Next day, the monitor doesnt work at all. It is an analog old pin style monitor. Again, do some research and learn that HitMan, while removing the virus, can also delete some needed functions of the computer. I'm going crazy, and cant even see what's happening on the system since the screen is black, until I find a second sealed off monitor port on the back of my tower. I tried plugging the monitor into that and, aside from the resolution settings being off, it worked like a charm. I changed the resolution settings to the monitor's ideal and its like nothing ever happened. I'm using a second monitor port that I didnt even know I had (the computer is probably 7 years old) and I'm very happy. I assume these settings were changed but have no other suspicion of trouble. Suddenly, after an hour or two of use, the screen turns blue. After testing the monitor on another computer and playing with colors in photoshop, I can report that I've lost all shades of red on the monitor. There is no bent pin and the monitor works perfectly on another computer.
I have no real idea what to do now. If Hitman deleted a driver or some sort of graphics setting, why would it work fine for an hour or two, and -much more importantly- what do I do to fix this?
Thank you so so much.
