I was on a torrent website and I clicked on a link to download a torrent.
As soon as I'd clicked it a message appeared on the screen.
I can't remember exactly what it said but it was along the lines of "blah blah is about to initiate an attack on your computer..." with an option to click "continue" or "do nothing".
I didn't click on either option and the laptop shut down after about 30 seconds.
Now everytime I turn it on it shuts down again.
The time varies as to how long it takes to shut down, normally lasting a bit longer if it's been off for longer but never long enough for my virus checker to complete.
Could anybody please help me out?
Many thanks
