My Car has a Virus...

Well it really doesn't have a virus, but earlier today when i was parking i turned the wheel to straighten it out and out of no where the car began to shut off, more of a power surge. It was weird my radio turned off and then on, my speedo shut off and back on. All electronics stopped working and the speedo would say "Service Traction"

It stopped after a couple of seconds, I then parked and shut off the car. Started it back up and nothing. It was gone

Really strange, I'm gonna wait it out before i take it to the dealer. Any Ideas on what the hell that was?

Could be the alternator, when mine died in my focus like random lights and **** would go off like the seatbelt one and such, or does it happen every time you turn the wheels?

I hope it's not the alternator! Nope, It has never done that.

Yeah dude! It was completely random. I did my business then took off about an hour later. Drove it home with no problems!

It's definitely a virus. You'll have to go and remove it manually. Go to Start>Run>Regedit

Start deleting stuff. It will remove your virus.
