Maybe some of you folks more technological than I can help me...My PC keeps shutting down randomly. I mean it completely turns off. I then have to restart it. Sometimes it will shut down again immediately after I restart it and sometimes it won't. I did an online scan using HouseCall and it located a trojan in two files. I deleted those files. My Norton isn't picking up anything at all.

Maybe try "TrojanHunter". It's from Sweden (Michel?) and you can get a 30-day evaluation
copy. Using it and my virus software (with lots of repeated cleansings) I managed
to kill off an exceedingly nasty trojan a couple of weeks ago.
I also recommend "Spybot S&D". I don't know if spyware could be part of your problem...
but my first run of Spybot revealed a LOAD of spyware on my machine. And seemed
to really clean it out.
Also, for information, you might check the "lessons" area of www.jefflevy.com.
While you might have to do some searching through the lesson topics, you
might find something dealing with involuntary shut-downs.

Ummmm. Open the cover on the PC, pull out your vaccuum cleaner and remove the thick coating of dust from your power supply that is probably causing your system to overheat and shut down.
