Open Control Panel - System - Advanced and click on the Settings
button in the Startup and Recovery (bottom) section. In the Startup
and Recovery window click on the checkbox for "automatically restart"
to clear it, then click on Apply and OK as needed to exit.

That should put an end to the reboots. However they may be replaced
by "Blue Screen Of Death" STOP errors. If that does happen then the
contents of the STOP message, including the STOP code, all 4
parameters, and any file or module names listed, will be a direct clue
as to the underlying cause of the problem.

Post the STOP error message information back here if you need advice
or assistance with that.


Also, what specific spy killers did you try? Some of the products out
there are actually spyware apps themselves, installing more spyware
while pretending to fix problems. Check out the programs you used at
the following web site:
