So i rarely have had a virus problem in the past 3 years or so of using this computer. But it has finally struck.. and hard.. There are at least 2 virus' im pretty sure are taking over. One is this dumb "Virus Removal 2008" that from what i've researched is easy enough to destroy manually. the real problem lies in once i start my computer up.. maybe 30.. 45secs on the desktop it reboots itself.. making it just about impossible to do anything. How can I fight this thing? I'm willing to buy some software especially so that I can fix it easily should this happen again. Norton or someone have anything you guys recommend?


one minute downloading something off the web.. the next.. doom.

Thanks,
Peter
