You can either click the START A DISCUSSION button (which you did) or ASK A QUESTION button beside it. You will be ignored here, answered there.

First thing's first, reboot in safe mode and shut off Automatically Restart on System Failure.

If XP,
1.
Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.

2.
Click the Advanced tab.

3.
Under Startup and Recovery, click Settings to open the Startup and Recovery dialog box.

4.
Clear the Automatically restart check box, and click OK the necessary number of times.

5.
Restart your computer for the settings to take effect.

Now instead of restarting it'll just crash or go to a Blue Screen where you'll need to reboot.

You'll also need to post your operating system, not everyone uses XP.

Oh what the hell, I'm here now, I'll take the flogging from peers for helping in this forum.

To start, boot in safe mode with networking and go to the following address and conduct an online scan:

Also download and run Adaware FREE:

Oh and turn off system restore before you do anything, otherwise removed fils may be replaced on reboot.
[b]Steps to turn off System Restore[/b]

Click Start, right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.

In the System Properties dialog box, click the System Restore tab.

Click to select the Turn off System Restore check box.
Or, click to select the Turn off
System Restore on all drives check box.
Click OK.

When you receive the following message, click Yes to confirm that you want to turn off System Restore:

You have chosen to turn off System Restore. If you continue, all existing restore points will be deleted, and you will not be able to track or undo changes to your computer.

Do you want to turn off System Restore?

After a few moments, the System Properties dialog box closes.

[b]Steps to turn on System Restore[/b]

Click Start, right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.

In the System Properties dialog box, click the System Restore tab.

Click to clear the Turn off System Restore check box. Or, click the Turn off System Restore on all drives check box.

Click OK.

After a few moments, the System Properties dialog box closes.

That should et yuo started anyway, if you still have issues, download hijackthis and run a scan, post the log in the Ask a Question forum, here or anywhere else and you'll get more specific help.
