    Dear David:

    Thanks for your e-mail and help.

    What you sent me help for a while but now my computer keeps shutting down
    while I am working. All of a sudden shuts down without a warning.

    It's that also a virus?

    What else can I do?

    Thanks again,

    Rafael
    Dump the contents of the IE Temporary Internet Folder cache (TIF)

    start --> settings --> control panel --> internet options --> delete files

    1) Download the following three items...

             Trend Sysclean Package
             http://www.trendmicro.com/download/dcs.asp

             Latest Trend signature files.
             http://www.trendmicro.com/download/pattern.asp

             Ad-aware SE (free personal version v1.05)
             http://www.lavasoftusa.com/

    Create a directory.
    On drive "C:\"
    (e.g., "c:\New Folder")
    or the desktop
    (e.g., "C:\Documents and Settings\lipman\Desktop\New Folder")

    Download SYSCLEAN.COM and place it in that directory.
    Download the Trend Pattern File by obtaining the ZIP file.
    For example; lpt512.zip

    Extract the contents of the ZIP file and place the contents in the same
    directory as
    SYSCLEAN.COM.

    2) Update Ad-aware with the latest definitions.
    3) If you are using WinME or WinXP, disable System Restore
            http://vil.nai.com/vil/SystemHelpDocs/DisableSysRestore.htm
    4) Reboot your PC into Safe Mode and shutdown as many applications as
    possible.
    5) Using both the Trend Sysclean utility and Ad-aware, perform a Full
    Scan of your
            platform and clean/delete any infectors/parasites found.
            (a few cycles may be needed)
    6) Restart your PC and perform a "final" Full Scan of your platform
    using both the
            Trend Sysclean utility and Adaware
    7) If you are using WinME or WinXP,Re-enable System Restore and re-apply
    any
            System Restore preferences, (e.g. HD space to use suggested 400 ~
    600MB),
    8) Reboot your PC.
    9) If you are using WinME or WinXP, create a new Restore point
