My PC is an AMD Athlon XP 2400+. with 1GB of RAM. OS is XP Home Edition updated to SP3 and I use Comodo Firewall Pro, Avira AntiVirus Free Edition, Comodo BoClean and SpyWareBlaster as real time protection. I also use SuperAntiSpyware and AVG AntiSpyware as manually operated scanners and run them once weekly on a rota basis. My AV is set to automatically scan once weekly on a regular basis. All these programs are kept up to date and used regularly. My scan with Superantispyware two days ago found two tracking cookies and my PC works as it should and without any slowness or any other sign of malware. I am as sure as I can be that my PC is as clean as it possibly can be.

I have Firefox 3 set as the default browser and use AdBlok and NoScripts as addons on both accounts I only use IE7 for Windows Updates.

I share this PC with my twenty year old daughter, two individual accounts both with admin status. I am no PC expert not having grown up with them but through visiting this site often and taking on board the help, advice and tutorials offered I now have a pretty tight system which I very rarely have problems with on my own account. However nearly every time I come on my PC after my daughter has used her account I find that it has rebooted itself due to an unforseen crash. When I talk to her about this as to watch out which sites she visits which are causing this to happen she says that she doesn't know why it happens either but adds that it is during her visits to the MySpace site that the PC crashes and reboots.

Like I say I am not PC savvy enough to know why this site would affect my PC as it does but neither it seems is my daughter.Can anyone here shed some light on this matter with perhaps an explanation or even a solution to this problem. I don't use the MySpace site myself so have no idea about it other than that a lot of youngsters tend to use it including my daughter she says for music.

Feel free to ask any relevant questions and thanks in advance again for any help or advice offered.

Have you looked at Event Viewer to see what might be causing the crash?
