Problem Shutting Down (1 Viewer)

[Dash]

I have a little problem with my comp...
Whenever I tell it to shutdown, all it does is restart the computer...
I recently deleted the w32.Supernova.Worm, so thats prolly got sumthing to do with it...
Anyways... does anyone know how I can fix this?

Edit: ...and I've got Windows XP Professional

dude, are you running anti-virus, you probably are.

dowload these couple of progs:
adaware
spybot search and destroy
stinger
HijackThis [to use this, i'd reccomend that you sign up to a computer forum, you'll know as you use it]

have a go at them, and things should be better. does it restart all the time or just sometimes?

Update Windows to SP1.

Yeh I've used them already...
It's juss that when I installed Norton, the Worm was already there...
When I deleted it I think it screwed my comp up...

Win98 has a host of problems shutting down...mainly around power management and network devices. See if you can find anything specific to your case at the ms website.
