Virus identification



I have a virus. Which one?

The main clue is when I try a virus scan or ad ware or spy war scan - the
machine shuts down (turns off).

I have been able to run a Symantec removal tool for "w32 blaster.worm" , but
this was not the problem.

One more clue: it is trying to sell me a Dell Computer with a phony pop-up.

Any suggestions.

Thanks.
