Shut down

[Guest]

I keep getting this pop up and then it restarts my computer about 3 times a day. NT Authority system-System 32 Isas.exe' termination unexpected w/status code 1073741819. Does anyone know why it's doing this

Apparently, your PC has suffered a major security breech and is now
infected with Malware ("The Sasser Worm") because:

1. The latest Windows XP Critical Updates have apparently not been installed......
2. The PC's firewall apparently has not been properly enabled.....
3. Out-of-date or no AntiVirus program has been installed......

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.

Follow these directions to remove The Sasser Worm from your computer:

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.
