Instead of resetting your Lenovo IdeaPad P580 computer into its factory settings, there is another solution for this issue. You have to install a latest and updated antivirus software for your computer. Even if you restore your computer to its factory settings, there might be possible infections again the future. If you do not have any antivirus software, you can buy one at Amazon.com. I have provided product links for some of their offered antivirus software.
- Norton Antivirus 2013
- Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2013
- McAfee Antivirus Plus 1PC 2013
- Webroot SecureAnywhere Antivirus 2013
- Trend Micro Titanium Internet Security 2013
