Ok well a friend of my friend used limewire, and didn't know what an anti-virus was.......soooo yeah. She calls my friend up complaining that every 5 minutes her computer restarts. We both tried to walk her through the steps to save her self and install AVG anti-virus but she couldn't seem to get it done, she got it installed, but couldn't figure out how to get it scanning. I really couldn't help all that much with point and click because I was in the car driving back from Miami.
So today my friend and I are going over to her house to do a repair install save her documents. Or might just bring a Linux Live cd and copy the documents off that way..But anyway I've never hit a virus that does this. I know blaster use to fault something out and you'd get a warning that in 1 minute your computer was restarting, but she starts the computer normally, and she tuns fine but then about 5 minutes later it says its shutting down. I'm just wondering if anyone has run into this before as I'm curious to what it is.
