I have this really annoying prob that one of you tech heads might be able to solve, it only happens when i go online (yes, i have dialup ) after about 20-25 mins it just craps itself and shuts down and restats suddenly, Im running XP pro and use IE. Do you guys think i have a virus or is it a fault in windows....
Any tips, help is much appreciated. :P

Sasser a,b and c... I had Sasser A, but luckily got it off it doesn't corrupt your comp or anything.. it just shutdowns your comp and that is really annoying

Godsake talk sense.
1. Do a virus scan , if you dont have a virus applicaion try http://housecall.trendmicro.com/housecall/.../start_corp.asp
2. If no virus is detected, reinstall the modem drivers
3. If this still happens the modem may be conflicting with the motherboard
And internet explorer would NOT shut the pc down , it would just close itself. Also you may be getting out of memory and the computer things "nuck this" and just, goes.

actually ie can shut down your computer it relies greatly on explorer.exe
