its just recently been happening...i turn it on, it runs slow for a little
while, takes forever for the desktop to appear. Then i will recieve a
meesage about a malicious script and my computer is being halted. I click
STOP (this script from running), and then it will be as if the electricity
just went off like a power surge or something. Im suprised its actually
stayed on long enough for me to type this...please help!!

It's so much easier to suggest solutions when you don't know too much about
the problem

Okay, i'm new to this post so I kinda messed up the first time, I had
problems with my computer shutting down like that too, turns out, I had a bad
harddrive, contact your computer place and tell them.
