Your title"PC rebooted unexpectedly" caught my attention.I need your help regarding a problem with my computer. Don't know yet if it is hardware or software related.
I am running Windows 7. The pc rebooted without giving it the shutdown/ restart command. This was a few moments ago...
....
I was on a Glock firearm forum the other day and got a pop up "your PC needs fixing" or something to that effect.
I didnt clik on it either ok or to close, I went to task mgr and ended now.
Downloaded malwarebytes on another PC, changed the name of installer to abc in case the suspected trojan/malware on infected PC blocks install of application with malware title.
Sure enough I installed malwarebytes and it found and removed "Trojan.Ransom.ED"
Located in C\Users\me\AppData\Roaming\version.dll
Ever since that removal for no reason my PC REBOOTS without any input from mouse while on youtube.
Never has this happened before getting this trojan.
Also after it reboots itself while in youtube, It takes about 10 minutes to get back online to yahoo home page .
I am going to do a clean install as I think the trojan corrupted some software.
Thought I would pass this along in case someone runs into this.
* I am still trying to find a way to "save" full IE9(600+mb) to desktop but I am only able to get a "run" from saved setup utility , instead of save full install .
great site here thanks
