Apparently, your computer is now infected with the W32.Blaster.Worm or
one of its variants. This happened because you have not been using an
internet connection firewall and have apparently neglected to install
the critical updates available from Microsoft.

If your computer is constantly attempting to shutdown or reboot:

Start - Run, type "shutdown -a", and hit Enter.

This should halt the reboot - this time. Now fix the problem.

Then immediately turn-on Windows XP's built-in Firewall:

What You Should Know About the Blaster Worm and Its Variants
http://www.microsoft.com/security/incident/blast.asp

A tool is available to remove Blaster worm and Nachi worm infections
from computers
that are running Windows 2000 or Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=833330

A security issue has been identified that could allow an attacker to
remotely compromise a computer running Microsoft Windows and
gain complete control over it. You can help protect your computer
by installing this update from Microsoft.

BTW, Protect yourself - don't post your email address so obviously.
Learn to munge your email address properly, to keep yourself a bit
safer.

Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing.

You most likely have the blaster worm.
When the shutdown countdown starts go to: Start> run> type 'shutdown -a'
without the quotes. Hit okay. Do it again should the countdown start again
during the process.
Then go Start> contol panel> network connections> select your internet
connection and right click it. Select properties. Click the advanced tab and
tick the 'protect this...' box. Hit okay until the boxes disappear.
Now go to
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.blaster.worm.removal.tool.html
and read the page. Download the fixblast.exe (link about half way down that
page). Run it.
When your machine is clean, go to windowsupdate.com and download all the
recommended fixes.
