    You “Save” the file, double click it and the program runs. Do the Scan first.
    There are options but it is usually quite safe to then do the Clean.

    It would also be worth downloading, installing, updating and running this freebie:

    Use green download button top right. It often finds what AV’s miss.

    If anything is found keep the logs in case further delving is necessary.

    Always pop back and let us know the outcome – thanks

  2. That means your MODEM cannot make contact with your ISPs servers. Either your ISP is off-line or your Modem is configured incorrectly. The first thing to do is to contact your ISP and see what they have to say about it.

    It may be an issue with the lens itself – as in it may be failing – low output; or in effect going on/off as/when.

    There is one lens I(usually) for DVD and one – different colour etc. – for CD. Does the drive play CDs OK?

    If replacing the built-in drive isn’t something you’d like to do yourself… (and provided you know which panel on the base of the laptop to remove) it’s not difficult to replace the drive – usually. Likewise any decent repair shop “ought” to do it for very modest sum… In the meantime an external usb unit would be a good option; they are around for very few £/$ these days. I have Samsung and Liteon usb drives; they work fine.

    The Liteon is my preferred unit as the model I hav has the tray release button on the front; whereas many Samsungs (currently) have it on the top towards the back…

    What make and model laptop do you have; and what make/model dvd unit is installed in it? That info may allow more useful help re’ replacing the dvd unit?
