There are thousands of nasty computer viruses/worms looking for unprotected
computers. Your computer can be infected within a few milliseconds the
moment
an internet connection is established if your computer is not properly
secured.
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 at the
Windows Update website.
------------------------------------------------------------------
If your computer is constantly attempting to shutdown
or reboot, quickly go to:
Start > Run and type: CMD , and hit enter.
This opens the Command Prompt window.
Then type: shutdown -a , and hit enter.
This should halt the rebooting problem.

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

Special note if you use AOL:
America Online installs its own connection settings that override
the ones that come with Windows XP. America Online's
connection settings don't include a way to turn on Windows XP's
built-in firewall.
