After loading service pack 2, on shutting down the
machine rebooted it self. Frist I thought that I had hit
the wrong button but after the fifth time it would not
shutdown. The only way I could shutdown was to remove
service pack 2 then everything was ok.
Can anyone help me with this problem as I want service
pack 2 on my machine.
 
Some basic steps to removing Spyware/Adware..

First step is to run a one shot virus remover.. I have found that McAfee
Stinger works for people.. download and run it..

You will also need to download Spyware removal software.. Spybot and Adaware
are available at these websites.. both are free.. download and run them..
don't forget to check for updates after you have started them..

Spybot has the ability to immunize a system, but there is better for this
function, so download and run Spyware Blaster too.. again, check for
updates..

Try this, at least you'll get a bsod and an error message to Google for
a fix.
Control Panel System Properties Advanced - Startup and Recovery:
Settings Under "system Failure", uncheck "Automatically restart"
