   Malware tends to be dormant in safemode. On startup press F8 key repeatedly & choose "safemode with networking". Install & run the following free scanners:

   A virus or trojan may be causing your computer to reboot.

   ADDITIONAL:

   Sounds like you’ll have to reinstall your o/s. Check if you have a recovery partition (usually D-drive). This would reinstall your operating system to factory settings. Start-Programs-System Recovery, or F10/F11 at startup.

   That’s a leftover from the malware. You should be able to get rid of the useless message by going into msconfig and keeping the file from trying to start up. Here’s how:

   1.Click on the Start->Run menu item.
   2.In the Run text box, type in msconfig, then press Enter.
   3.In MsConfig, click the Startup tab.
   4.See if there’s an entry for that filename. If there is, clear the checkbox next to its name. Note: Windows Vista even has a column that can show the entire command the program was called up with. To display it, click View->Select Columns and check the Command Line checkbox, then click OK.
   5.Click OK.
   6.Accept the reboot option.

   Hopefully, the message won’t come up on the next reboot. You will, however, get a message about your configuration having changed. In fact, if you just click OK, you’ll get this message after every reboot, however, if you click the checkbox before clicking OK, the message won’t come up again unless and until you make another msconfig change.

   Note that, if need be, any such changes can be reversed the same way they were made: The entries are not deleted, just deactivated.

   Good luck.
