Please help! My computer has started to automatically
reboot. I will be in the middle of something and it just
reboots. It doesn't seem to matter what I am doing. I
don't even have to be online. Any suggestions on how to
fix this or what could be causing this?
 
You very likely have the MSBlast worm! Go to the
microsoft page and it will lead you to both a removal
tool and the patch to prevent reinfection. I would do
this ASAP!
 
Karen,

Chances are (if this has just recently occured) you have the "blaster worm".
Go to the Symantec site. They have a fix for it. Follow their directions
exactly. If they don't include the link to Microsoft for the patch to
prevent further infections, go to MS and get the patch. Or do a search for
the patch it is KB823980. Do the repair first with Symantec.

Good luck,
Mike
