    I have another computer that has the symptoms of a sirefef variant.

    Symptoms:
    microsoft security stopped working
    redirect to advertisements
    system auto restarting (system restore to fix)
    command prompt opens and closes quickly on restart

    Where should I start oh great virus destroyers.
