I was on line and my screen turned white and a
message came on that said this system is being shut down
by the N.T. authority. Then the screen went all white
again.
I shut off my pc and restarted it and it will work for
about 15 minutes then shut off.
My brother called the day before and said his pc is
doing the same thing and he lives 60 miles alway.
Does anybody know what is going on and how to fix it ?

You have an unwelcome visitor known as the WM32 Blaster/Lovsan worm.
It entered your computer through your internet connection because the "firewall"
was not properly enabled. For instructions on fixing the problem, visit:

the instructions.
