Hi, I am trying to fix a friends computer, preferably without having to reinstall windows, I have been working with computers for many years, but still consider myself a beginner. When they connect to the Internet after varying periods of time, usually very short, the computer reboots its self, I have never come across this problem before, so any help would be appreciated.
I have run every diagnostic program I have, and have eliminated all spyware.
The machine I believe is 4 years old, has a 1gig processor, 512 ram.
Thanks
Jim :tazz:

Hello and welcome to Geeks to Go! I'm kool808.

Even the best antispyware programs are only able to remove about 70% of infections. Also, the line between spyware and trojans is getting blurred. You can never be too careful with these, I recommend at least one online scan.

Have an On-line scan at this sites: Trend Micro or Panda Scan.
