  1. Screen lock out too often even as i am working


    My screen gets locked more often even as I am working on the laptop.

    I set my laptop Power & Sleep to never, and it still gets auto locked within seconds or sometimes randomly.

    I thought it was a virus and bought AVG.


    Now, AVG scans and says performance issues, and asks me to buy more additions to anti virus protection.


    Pls advise.

    :)
