So yea. I was reading a thread on IMVU and i went to go to this site then when it was loading i went back to the imvu thread and my pc shut off . When it tried to start again it shut off again and gave me a black screen with white letters saying that windows did not start properly and about something that it might have been because of some software etc .
So i restarted it and it turned on perfectly and i noticed that my internet said "limited or no connection" so i got scared and checked what the ip address was and it started with 169 or 164 i can't read that number that i wrote. Hmmm could i have gotten a virus?
my computers firewall was off so i turned it on but my AVG was on and my router is with a password .
So i started turning my pc off then on and clicking f8 cause i read that it's how to start safe mode so i could scan my pc but it never worked then after several times of turning off and on my pc i got it the internet to work and avg gave me a pop up message so i pressed public connection (single computer ) and now my connection is fine and in ctrl alt delte i do not see any programs that i would not recognise . i turned off the suspicious ones .
Also now when i checked my IP it's different than what it was before the computer shut off but i have a dynamic IP that changes ones every few months .
So could this have been the IP changing process? when i tried repairing my connection when it was limited it keopt saying that it can't renew IP . i tried renewing it with IPconfig but idk if that worked so now i'm here with questions.
So yea was it my IP chaning process ? cause the limited tihng happned a few times to me and it usually takes a while . it happened a few months ago i can't remember when exactly .
Thank you
