On another of my computers, after being connected to the internet for about
5-7 minutes, a window pops-up stating that the computer must be restarted
The window cannot be closed in any manner and is very annoying. Well, this
has happened time and again and still it appears. Thw window that pops-up
is similar to the one you briefly see if you use the one-click shutdown in
xp. To view this window, put the following into a new shortcut:

%windir%\System32\SHUTDOWN.exe -s -t 01

After click on the shortcut the winow will briefly appear before shutting
down the computer.
 
Your system is infected by RPC (W32.Blaster) Worm. This is causing the
system to shutdown abnormally.

Hello Brandon,

The following procedure allows you to cancel the
"Shutdown" task and allows you to then continue to use
your computer to resolve the issue.


Open the "Run" dialog box via [Start] | Run |.
In the "Open:" box, type the following line of text,

shutdown.exe -a

but do NOT press [Enter]. If you are presented with the
"Shutdown" dialog box with the "30-second warning",
click [OK] in the "Run" dialog box.

Now create a shortcut with the following properties...
--
Target entry:
%windir%\System32\shutdown.exe -a

Shortcut Key:...
(choose something appropriate)

....is effective only if the Shortcut is on the desktop
or in the "Start Menu".
--
You may now [Cancel] the "Run" dialog box.

The next time you see "the 30-second warning" dialog box,
either click on this "Abort" shortcut, or use the
Shortcut Key to abort the "Shutdown" task.
