Won't turn off

[Von Ryan]

Computer reboots when I shut it off, after the "it is
safe to turn your computer off" is displayed. Just
upgraded to XP. With windows 98 I was unable to shut it
off sometimes and One night the computer turned itself
on. Now, can't shut it off at all.

Virus? Help.

It probably isn't a virus, but the best way to answer that question is
to run a scan with a current (post-2002 version using updated
definitions) antivirus program. If you don't have one, you should get
one asap.
