shuts down with a loud beep on reboot. virus alert came from windows/system32

This is the ContraVirus. See if you can get into Safe Mode and then
follow the removal instructions:

To get into Safe Mode, repeatedly tap the F8 key as the computer is
starting up. This will get you to the right menu where you will use your
arrow keys to choose Safe Mode.

But what effect with this have on the shutdown-reboot? It would seem there
is more than just the ContraVirus false alert on hand.

I don't know, Phil and like you I wondered about it. That's why I wanted
to see if the OP could get into Safe Mode or if s/he has some other
hardware issues. I was just trying to narrow down the troubleshooting.
Thanks for posting your thoughts about this.

Cheers,
