Does anyone know if this is a virus or how to cure it?
« on: November 16, 2003, 11:44:26 am »
My computer has been acting sooo funky since yesterday..It suddenly descided that after so long it will just restart itself, even without me doing anything except moving the mouse.

I'll be able to log on to AOL then pull up AIM, and then it will seem to freeze, because I'll try to move the mouse, and then it will restart...And after about 5 times of going through and doing that, and having it restart, it will work for an hour or two and then do what it had been doing...

Anyone know what the deal is?

Thanks

Oh I'll let you know...

I'm gonna pass it along to gina too, she has a virus on one of her computers where if someone on AIM says 'fuck' it knocks her off of AIM and she has to sign back on.

It's got 26 minutes left to download...I hope my computer stays on that long to download it...haha!

DM,
  That was most assuridly a virus and a nasty one at that.  There was a known issue with windows where a worm could get on the PC and basically be able to restart your PC at will.  Get a virus scanner asap.....
