Hello!
1) does anyone know if I can use windows repair v.3.8.1 on 8.1 without any windows cd, afterwards?
2)can i use system file checker on 8.1 without any windows CD, afterwards?
i didn't get any windows cd since it is built into the chrome laptop.
i am asking before so i don't get any more problems after.

You don't need a Win 8.1 install disk for either.
Windows Repair deals with the Registry and sfc /scannow replaces any files from the compressed dllcache already on the computer.
This article describes how to create Win 8.1 install bootable media should you want it - https://www.winhelp.us/non-destructive-reinstall-of-windows-8-and-8-1.html

Super thanks! :smiley:
Do you, or anyone know where-how i can repair my keyboard settings on my laptop, after a messy remote trojan attack?
Does any of the 2 mentioned programs -methods work on solving that?
After the trojan remote attack they left my keyboard messy, and it writes numbers with letters etc.
I have tried loads of programs, scans and fixings to solve that.
Grateful for any insight how to fix it.

Are you sure you are infection free ?
You'll probably need to go to your computer support site and look for the keyboard drivers.
If it doesn't have any listed, go into Device Manager and expand Keyboard.
It may be listed as HID Keyboard Device.
Right click on it and select Properties then under the Details tab, use the dropdown and click on Hardware Ids.
There you will find a driver number highlighted.
Right click on it - select Copy then you can Paste it into the reply box where we can run a Google on it, or you could Google it yourself for a driver download, but don't fall for one of those driver updater programs - look for something resembling the vendor of your laptop.

Yes no infections.
I have run Avast, Malware-A..., Iobit..., Kaspersky... ccleaner and a bunch of various combinations all saying i am clean.
I did try something similar of what yo suggest but it didn't work out. it won't allow me to update my driver...
