Microsoft rebooting my computer any time they want

[Brenda Martin]

How do I keep microsoft from opening programs and adding
things that I don't want on my computer? I never had this
problem with Win. 98. I'm ready to switch to an Apple.
They fill in music that I did not download from albums,
they reboot my computer and keep my cpu running at 100%
so I can't play games and it's driving me nuts. Death to
microsoft...

Microsoft is not responsible for your inadequacies.

Brenda;
Microsoft is not doing it.
Hackers are exploiting a known vulnerability that Microsoft released a
patch for weeks ago.

DISCONNECT the subject computer from any network IMMEDIATELY.
VERY IMPORTANT to repair, closing ports is NOT enough.
Download the patch from the Windows Catalog.

You want: 823980

This is the IMPORTANT fix by Ron Martell:

After this is resolved prevent similar occurrences by installing ALL
Critical Updates from Windows Update.
Keep antivirus up to date and run at least weekly.
Install or enable a firewall.
