There are all manner of things that can go wrong with your computer, and in many cases they can be easily fixed by adjusting a few settings here and there. However, in the case of more serious problems, such as a virus or malware infection, you may find that you are not even able to boot your computer making it all but impossible to set about fixing any problems you may be experiencing.
