Computer issues, ****in' annoying

Well, I seem to have solved the problem. I couldn't do a reinstall as every time I tried booting the installation CD, my computer would reboot. My guess is to the Power Supply is the fault there. Upon further looking on the net, I found that I was probably infected by Vundo. I scanned and looked for only Vundo on my C:\ partition, and it brought up 6 different instances. I cleaned them, rebooted and have had a stable desktop environment for a while now, as to explorer.exe closing right at log in, and restarting/stopping every few seconds. Once I get a new power supply, I will be running the computer as a linux desktop (Probably Ubuntu, haven't figured it out yet.) instead of Windows. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

Ubuntu is fun but knoppix is a little better for everyday use. Do you have windows defender? Of all the anti virus and anti spam programs I've used it's about the same and there are no annoying displays as with other programs.

I had that problem last year. I had to do a complete reformat to get rid of it. One of my friends had the same problem recently, and we googled a fix and downloaded a program that got rid of it.

But since you're already doing a reformat my reply is useless! Oh well, reformatting every once in a while keeps the computer running like it should.
