seldom what i experience nowadays during netsurfing that your windows has
encountered the problem and it will shutdown within 50 seconds and some time
says send error report to microsoft with the option "yes" & "No"
Anyone know why I get that message and what to do about
it??
 
Hi Kamlesh,

Probably either the sasser or blaster worms. When the shutdown warning
appears, click start/run and enter "shutdown -a" to halt the process.

On the sasser worm, please see:

Details on the patch needed to prevent it:

For blaster or lovesan. Information:

You need the patch described here to protect against it:
