Hi, I installed what I thought was a legitimate version of Opera a few days ago, and my laptop has been freezing randomly ever since. Can't even do ctrl alt del. I have to shut down and upon rebooting, I get the chkdsk screen. I let this do its thing, but still keep freezing. I have uninstalled Opera, and a couple of programs that seemed to come along with it, based on the dates. I can't seem to uninstall ilivid. I've run avira and malwarebytes. Avira found nothing, malware found two ad bots, but I still have this problem. I can't believe it's a coincidence. I have a Samsung r610 and Windows Vista sp2. I would appreciate any ideas or help.
