Serious problem in my computer

    Today I got a serious problem in my computer. I try to explain:
    I downloaded Anvil Studio to my computer (that music program). I scaned it wiht avast! and it didn't gave any results (*no virus). I opened it and after that my computer did a restart itself. After the restart, Spyware Guard started to gave some messages (I don't remember what was there, it wanted to do a Live Update, or something). avast! also started to give some alerts and it closed. When I tried to reopened it, a message said: C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashAvast.exe is not a valid Win32 application. I uninstalled avast! and I installed it again. The same thing.
    I also uninstalled Spyware Guard. Could it be a virus?
    I would be very thanxful for a help.

    And one thing more: CPU ussage is also 100%.

    One thing more: everytime, when I restart my computer, a screen comes onto the screen: I have to click "End Now" (the program is "Winupgro.exe".)

    you need to download the free spyware scanner MALWAREBYTES to get rid of it. download it and once installed update it to the latest definition files "just click update" then do a full scan remove anything it finds. heres the link http://www.malwarebytes.org/

    who ? me or the original poster... oh you must mean this... It is not a forum for discussion of hardware problems, problems working with particular applications, or issues arising out of general use of your computer. For those questions, please take a look at the rest of the Computer and Operating Systems categories. Posting questions better suited for those sections will result in your post being either moved, locked or deleted at my discretion

    Not you, the OP. And the one marked "I think I have a virus, please read and try before posting."
