Auto-shutdown due to internet virus.

Hi DwayneJames36,

Yes, your PC has been infected by virus. To be safe from virus, trojan etc. always uses updated antivirus and updates them regular basis, always scan files when insert pendrive or other removable media and internet. You have not mentioned whether you have any antivirus installed. To stop this problem, full scan your PC by any reputed antivirus software. Latest Kaspersky Internet Security software can help you in this case because I disinfected one of my office PC 5 months ago.

Best of luck
