    I have moved your thread to the software forum as you will need to get your system stable before you can be assisted in the malware forum.

    You should be able to stop the reboot by going to Start > Run and typing in "shutdown -n" (without the " ", note that there is a space between shutdown and -n) and hitting enter.

    CORRECTION - "shutdown -a"
