my computer keeps turning itself off for some reason when i try to do stuff on it ive scanned it and found a few viruses called obfuskated and my CPU is nerly always between 80-100 could enyone help me with this? (im not a real computer person so would help if u put it in simple terms for me please) ty

If that temp is 80-100F, it's not a problem. If it's 80-100C, you're gonna have to open the case & see what's going on inside. It could be your system is loaded with dust, or it could be the CPU cooling fan has failed. Other than that, disable System Restore & do a full virus & spyware scan. You might wanna do it from Safe Mode.

i did a scan and found a trojan :o and what is a system restore? also, i have avg anti virus and virgin broadband anti virus..would they do the job fine? ty man

Rather than me trying to explain System Restore, you can read about it here: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/... Here's what you should do... 1. temporarily disable System Restore. Here's how: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310405 2. download & install CCleaner (do NOT install Yahoo! toolbar during the process). Run the Cleaner, then click the Registry button & "scan for issues". Fix them ALL (there's no need to back them up). You can get it here: http://www.filehippo.com/download_c... After that's done, reboot. 3. run MSCONFIG & disable all unnecessary programs from loading at startup - this will explain: http://netsquirrel.com/msconfig/ After that's done, reboot again. 4. download/install & run this Trojan Remover (it's a fully functional 30-day trial): http://www.simplysup.com/ 5. boot into Safe mode & run another full scan with AVG. 6. if you don't have a spyware remover, download, install, update, then run one of the following: Ad-Aware 2007 AVG Anti-Spy Spybot Search & Destroy Take your pick: http://www.filehippo.com/software/a... 7. once you're sure your system is free of viruses & spyware, boot into Safe Mode again & defrag the drive. 8. after completing all the above, re-enable System Restore & set a new restore point. You should be good to go!
