I haven't had any viruses but maybe it is your electric cord, electric, or power unit. Check it and reply. It never happened to me.

Where are they?

 

[Xain]

Your power unit is usually situated in a small, rectangular box underneath your stairs...Your electric cord is in the back of your computer.

But I doubt it's that...Just get Norton.

 

[Alabaster Holt]

Like Xain said, get norton. Its gets rid of any and all viruses

 

[Origanals]

Run spy ware and get rid of the vireses

 

[William2k2DJ]

If you have to get Norton, get the cheaper versions for cheaper price. If you have a Microsoft XP, get Microsoft Spyware Beta 1

My combo of AdAware, SpyBot, & McAfee Virus Protection works miracles.....

 

[Nitemare]

WEForums has no viruses.

 

[Phat]

The best programs...that I use often are:
Ad-Aware SE Personal (which is free, search on Google)
Norton Antivirus 2005

i found norton ****ed with my system, they just didnt wanna work, the guys at symntec couldnt figure it out lol.

i get alot of spyware but no virus problem , never from WE anyway.

I have the free version of the AVG antivirus program from Grisoft.com installed on my computer. It works great if you don't have a budget for computer protection.

 

[ChristopheR.]

Free virus programs suck, half of them contain spyware themselves. If not, they just suck anyway.

 

[Nitemare]

AVG is surprisingly good, though.

It won't remove viruses as good as McAfee or Norton, but for a free one, it's good.

Wait a second, Ill give you the answer for this. Is the computer totally shutting off? or just restarting?

If shutting down........
1. possible virus
2. power supply

if restarting......
1. possible virus
2. failure with power supply
3. cpu is becoming faulty
4. memory (RAM) is becoming faulty
5. hard drive clicked the machine. I dont know what this is called, but its happened to me. Your doing normal work, then suddenly the hard drive stops, restarts, and so does the computer.
6. overheating problem (highly unlikely)




My Solutions!
Use AdAware, and Norton Systemworks. These are the best two programs to make sure your computer is running fine. If that doesnt fix it, take it to a technician, or someone who feels safe in checking internal components.

True Nitemare, it's made by Grisoft. They have experienced incredible growth in the last decade, particularly in the last few years, with sales more than doubling every year since the founding of the company. It is continually expanding to address the needs of the global market.

are you having the virus, that once you connect to the internet it gives you only 1 minute and it turns off?

 

[Ken Slade]

^ I had that! Grr, in the end I think my Norton 2002 (the only one that would work with my computer!) got rid of it. It was something to do with a Worm virus I think.

Now yours might be slightly different but it just sounds similar, do a full check.

If not then do a system restore back to a point that you can remember you didn’t experience a problem. That’s a bit extreme, but could work.

 

[JohnWordCena]

if you have the virus i mentioned before, i can easily give you a programm that removes it.you dont need to install it like an antivirus.it is just a small software by windows for removing that particular virus.
