I have a big problem: My portable is completely unusable. I explain.
It is a Toshiba Satellite L50D-B with OS. Windows10 and almost new.
A few days ago I switch it on as every day, but I found with surprise that I got an alarm telling me that my system was infected by a virus and for protection, Microsoft was going to close it and that I need to call a number for instructions.
As I had already heard that you should never call numbers with similar messages, I only I turned off the unit and turned it on after a few minutes. To my surprise, it began to start on but it blocked announcing me a virus. But my antivirus (Avira) and my Firewall didn’t move
I opened the "Command Promt" to see if you could understand something and I found with surprise that C: > was empty, 0 files, D: > same thing and appeared an strange X: > with the files that should be on C: >. That certainly was the reason why the system crashed.
I try to reboot the system with the Windows 10 install disc but without success. I have access to "Safe Mode" but it do not allow me to format C: / or D: or the mysterious X: /
Can someone help me telling me which procedure to take?
Any help please? Thanks in advance
