Tony;
Have you checked Symantec Website for the patch for this, I believe it's
there. And also go to Microsoft XP update...I believe there is a patch there
too. I have not had to deal with this virus, but heard lots mentioned on
other websites on how to erradicate this.
I believe it called the sobig virus, that keeps restarting your computer.
May be wise to do a little research before formatting and re-installing OS.
