My compaq desktop pc with Pentium 4 processor/windows xp keeps shutting down, within minutes after logging in. I would be in the middle of waiting for a program to load when several popups show up saying something like "...failed to load because windows is shutting down.", and all i could do is click ok until these popups go away and the computer shuts down. I think it may be a virus...How can I stop this from happening? Is there anything I can do to get rid of it? Any help is greatly appreciated!

I have a 6 workstation group that is seeking firewall protection. Internet access through broadband. Wondering what my best alternatives are? Should I go internal or external?

Is setting up an external firewall difficult? What do I need to know about the installation? ANY info would be found most helpful. I do not have experience with this, but am the "computer guy" by default.

Also - If you want to provide links, or information on specific equiptment that would be spectacular.

We are just seeking additional protection, so nothing too brut is needed, I do not think.

10 points for the best answer :o) Wink Wink.

Thanks a lot! I can always count on Yahoo answers to bail me out!!
