You have the Win32.Sobig.B@mm (Palyh) virus and spyware (probably Netsetter) on your PC

I have now fixed the virus's on there but the machine still doesn't work properly You run the virus scanner now and no virus's are found. You still have to keep rebooting it though

Any ideas before I have to re-build it?

Thanks

quick way is to run a repair install of the os, will keep all your files & programs etc but will just fill in the blanks & repair the damage from the virus, you will be left with hopfully a stable install
