compaq/hp laptops from others  

i bought recently this laptop of mine and start to manage its user friendly features. i'm very happy for it as i used it very well on my studies most especially on researches and paperworks. my trouble starts when my operating system got infected by virus. i need to reinstall it and gosh the hardware components of my laptop needs updating through the internet. definitely it got so much trouble and need others help. right now, my trouble is over. i just need to take precautions to update regularly the anti-virus sorftware so that it will manage its efficiency. may i hear also from you those owners of compaq/hp laptops.
