Hey, I recently got the Coolweb virus but I
finally got rid of that, now I have one that
shuts down my PC after like 20 minutes
or so. I don't have online connection
anymore on that PC, so I probably got the
virus from the same place as the
smartsearch one, from a site on
xanga.com
So the PC shuts down and that makes it
annoying when doing work and such.
Sometimes it won't even start up. I
thought maybe it was over heating so I
unplug it and let it sit for a while and
replug then it will start. But it occured that
it may be a virus. Any ideas?
