    I didn't really understand what you meant on the post and its not even letting me go on the main screen. Yes, all the cables are connected into the monitor.

    This might be because of my English. I will try if I can be more specific.

    Do you see any text on your monitor when you start your computer? If that is the case keep pressing on the left shift button on your keyboard after you see the first text appear. That key (shift button) is located above the ctrl (left control button) button on your keyboard.

    Did you also verified if the cable of your monitor is also attached to your computer case at the backside?

    I just saw that you don't need a cd-rom of Avast to be able to perform a boot scan so my solution wouldn't help. Sorry about that.

    If nothing is visible on your monitor it might be your video card. Try this shutdown your computer and unplug the powercable of your computer now open your system case and see if you find any dust clean it with a soft cloth. Be sure that the videocard is being attached in the slots. See if you now still see the black screen.

    A computer repairman finally fixed it! Do you think I should get the ad-block for internet explore? would that be safer?

    The "NoScript" add-on would be helpful also.
