Strange crashing and errors
For the past couple of days my PC's has for some reason randomly crashed and froze up forcing me to restart. If I ctrl shift esc during the freeze it says it can't find the security options and task manager won't open up. It did it again today when I was playing S.P.A.Z. but when I turned it back on there were some random games that seem to have deleted themselves from my SSD. I've scanned with bullguard and AVG but can't find any viruses. Any ideas?
Edit: My father utilised a virus scanner his workplace developed and managed to find 2 trojans that were attached to files installed before I bought the PC. Unsure if this solves it, but I shall see.

You can always try scanning with malwarebytes too. In case if it is a trojan that is messing with your computer, usually malwarebytes is pretty good with finding malware on your computer. ![Razz :P](./images/smilies/icon_razz.gif)

That did help me find 10 more potential viruses but after further digging, I found that it was just my dad trolling me and seeing how long it took me to realise -_- At least I got rid of some viruses and trojans that I might've missed though

Apparently he'd been planning to do something like this for a couple years...

On the bright side, at least your parents are competent enough to know how to use computers - let alone install a trojan on one intentionally. ![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)

My father is, my mother... not so much. She put on a schedule for the internet to go off at 11pm every night to stop me staying up to late. 2 things she doesn't realise. 1. Theres such a thing as offline games and 2. She had to ask me for the password to the hub...

Lucky you. I had to live without internet after midnight for about a year. You do not want that to happen if you are yourself nocturnal.
