I have no idea what is causing your machine to reboot.

Update your antivirus software and run a full system scan.

Update whatever anti-spyware applications that you have and run a full
system scan with each one.

You might want to start in Safe Mode to run your antivirus and anti-spyware
software.

Running a full system antivirus scan or anti-spyware scan in Safe Mode can
be a good idea. Some viruses and other malware like to conceal themselves
in areas Windows protects while using them. Safe mode will prevent those
applications access and therefore unprotect the viruses or other malware
allowing for easier removal.

Geez Louise. You have no antivirus and you are surprised that your computer
is infected? You will not be able to install a full-featured antivirus
until your computer is cleaned up somewhat.

Go through these preparatory steps systematically -

Then scan with Sysclean (information at first link below) or Dave Lipman's
Multi-AV (see second and third links below). Then get, install, and update
a full-featured av and do a thorough scan in Safe Mode.

Continue with the steps from the very first link, including scanning with
Ewido. Make sure you also do the finishing-up work.

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this
isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a professional computer repair
shop (not your local version of BigStoreUSA).
