A Microsoft investigation has found that malware, including viruses, are being installed in PCs on factory production lines by cybercriminals. Buying and testing computers in China, investigators discovered viruses including Nitol, which facilitates access to bank accounts.

There!  I knew it.  They come out of the factory messed up, and when you ask them to fix it they return the computer having done nothing.   A survey of one person  myself) concluded that two thirds of all stress in life is caused by malfunctioning computers and other electronic gizmos.  At my current charge-out rate, reckon on I have spent $100,000 in the last year trying to get my computers working adequately.   Regrettably, the nerds mean well, but they are only a footstep ahead of me in expertise.  That doesn’t say a lot.

Epicurus would advise us to walk away from this situation in the interests of ataraxia, or peace of mind.
