It could be an attack from the internet on a certain port or a add-ware like hotbar stuff and others. Both are not detected by antivirus software. Start with fully updating your windows and removing add-ware.

But my win2k box reboots frequently, sometimes when I'm nowhere near it and just watching tv in the same room. I use AVG but it can't find anything amiss. Are there any known signs (files etc.) that evince the presence of that virus/worm that causes frequent reboots? I just got finished re-installing everything and I'd hate to have to do it all over again. It seems that no matter what sort of burner I buy, I'm still way behind. My fave box has twin 80GB drives and a single sided DVF burner. Reminds me of the days of FastBack floppy backups. Insert Disk #82. Sheesh.
