I installed Windows XP Home after formating the harddrive that had win 98 and
everything went fine untill I hooked up to the internet and tried to do a
windows update. Now I'm getting blasted with spam and Viruses when I tried to
do the updates. Computer will not stay on long enough to do anything. Starts
up then shuts down again and again. I have reinstalled the Windows at least 3
times and it does this every time. How do I correct this problem. Mutt
