Hi, My son in law has been having problems with his computer. When he starts it up he logs on and as soon as his desktop comes up the computer shuts down and restarts. I scanned his hard drive on my machine using e-trust and found 2 viruses which e trust got rid of (win32/cruspy!generic and win32/Puper!generic). Still had the same problem. So I downloaded spybot in safe mode and ran it. It was picking up loads of spyware especially trojans but before it finished it shut down again. I tried to stop search and fix problems as each one came up but as soon as i press stop search the computer restarts again..........sighhhhh.........any help would be very appreciated. Bas

You could ask for help in malware removal.Maybe they can work something out for you to keep it from restarting,so you can get it fixed.
