G'day.

First incident
Today I was only my brother's laptop and I was about to print a document, when I was about to click the 'Print' button the laptop automatically powered off and when I pressed the power button, it wouldn't open.

Second incident
Then I was on my sister's desktop trying to help her rendering some video for school work, we saved it and it started rendering, while it was rendering we were having dinner then when I came back to check the progress it was all powered off and now the PC wont open.

I think it is the Gauss virus which is now all over Middle East, I live in an Arab country and I need details on that virus.

Can someone give me a clear guide on what is that virus? What that virus does? What it effects? And a solution to remove it?

Thanks.

Thanks, but do you know what that virus does? How it gets infected? My PC is Gauss-free at the moment :)

What did the web-based method tell you? If you answer that, it would be great. What about the other computers?
