Greetings.

This week, I have encountered the nasty malware Virtumonde, and I need help fixing it. I am using another computer right now as the one that is infected cannot access the internet. I've been running SpyBot by transferring the install file from this computer to the infected one using a SD card. SpyBot also found the Microsoft Security malware that turns my computer's automatic updates to off. I also noticed that my computer automatically resets whenever shutting down. I think it's because of a fatal error. Is this also the cause of the malware? Please help me. Thanks in advanced
