My computer. :(

Something has been messing up my computer on and off for a few months. It had been okay for like a week and then it started up again. I'm on the laptop right now but, I NEED my computer as it has photoshop and all of my pictures on it.

Whenever I open the internet it restarts itself.

Does anyone know what could be wrong?

I have no clue, but I hope your computer is fixed soon!

Maybe try downloading a trial of system machanics and put it on a cd for the other computer, it fixed alot of bugs on my computer but it takes along time for the whole process but its worth it in the end, The trial is a full working version for 30 days.

Sounds like it could be a virus/worm or else some bad spyware. Can you run a virus scan and spyware scan on it? Ad Aware is a good one for spyware. I use the free version of AntiVir for virus scanning and it is a good virus detection program but you have to be able to get on the net to d/l it.

If all else fails can you put your pictures on a disk and perhaps take it in or have someone come look at it? Hope you are able to get some help. I know how nervewracking it can be to have computer problems.

Yup - probably virus or spyware.

(I'm so glad I'm not on a PC.)

Definitely sounds like a virus. Spyware wouldn't shut down your internet connection, as that's what it needs to do it's work. (though there are some truly malicious forms of spyware that do that)

The problem is that there are viruses that will detect and block anti virus installers, but I'd at a minimum update the AV software and run a scan.

The same exact thing kept happening to my computer, we deleted all the temporary internet files and the cookies and added some Spyware scan things, it has helped tremendously! Hope its up and running soon!

Me too!

Good luck solving it!
