My friend's computer running XP SP2 has a worm or a virus that he thinks he got from a porn site.
It boots normally then about 10 seconds after the desktop shows up in it reboots with no error messages or blue screen.
It does the exact same thing in safe mode.
I've been searching for info but everything I have found doesn't do it in safe mode.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I tried using a Windows CD to repair XP but it doesn't work.
I'm hoping important files are still there and to put the HD in one of my computers and save them on CD.
Whatever this thing is its it's bad. It doesn't seen to have erased the HD hopefuly it only attacked Windows.

Definitely backup your data before proceeding. Once you have that, go to the Malware area as I posted above, they will help you clean it up.
