Computer starts and restarts in an infinite loop at startup.

Received this e-mail from Comcast around 2 April 2013 stating my computer may have a 'bot '. This function constant guard of Comcast. On 5 April, my computer started this start and restart * in an infinite loop. I took the computer manufacturer and all wiped out settings. Comcast removed free Norton antivirus and replaced by Webroot. When the infinite loop finally stops, I just leave the computer on and log off because if I stop, it will begin to restart in an endless loop. I used MicroSoft's analysis and Webroot finds no Malware since I restored it to the constructor parameter. I don't understand??? It does only as long as my wireless light on my laptop. If I boot my computer and disable immediately any connection to the internet, there are no endless loop. I get the desktop to the top and turn on the wireless on my laptop and the computer begins to restart. My daughter uses her Tablet without any problem the same modem wireless. I always get this duplication of constant guard of Comcast email. I sent email them back and ask them if they are sent, and if it was a fake, and their response was like they didn't know what I was asking. Knuckleheads! I am lucky to be online now. He ran into an infinite loop, start and restart hours today. Help!

Hi Michell,

1. don't you make changes to the computer before the show?
2. What do you mean by "I have always received this e-mail from duplication of constant guard of Comcast?

Method 1: I suggest to disable automatic reboot and then check if the problem persists.

(Including safe mode) advanced startup options (disable automatic reboot system error)

    Two points:

    1. in my opinion and that of many others of us here, McAfee is one of
    the poorest choice of security these days software here. I strongly
    recommend you take and replace with eSet NOD32 or
    Kaspersky, if you are willing to pay for it. If you want a free
    antivirus, I recommend one (do not run more than one antivirus
    program) of three of the following:
     
    Avira AntiVir
    Avast
    Microsoft Security Essentials
     
    You also need anti-spyware software (even if you run a program such as)
    Microsoft Security Essentials, with integrated anti-spyware capability
    It). I recommend that you download and install MalwareBytes (freeware)
    AntiMalware
    2 Microsoft isn't selling McAfee with new computers. Microsoft
    is not even do or do not sell computers. If your computer comes with
    McAfee, it's because the manufacturer of your computer (Dell, HP,
    Gateway, or anyone else) has chosen to sell like that.
