Each time I access the internet, after about 5 mins, An
error box pops up displaying message to shut down, auth
by NT Authority System, why is this?
 
Maybe the Blaster Worm/Lovsan

First, stop the bug from running by hitting CTRL-ALT-DELETE and
bringing up the task manager. Look for msblast.exe in the list, and
kill it. Now your computer won't shut down, but the bug is still there
and will run the next time you start your machine. Go to this URL to
find out how to get rid of it:

See www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_qr.htm#rpc
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_qr.htm
for a quick removal tool for the
MSBlast worm and a link to the Microsoft patch to prevent future infection.
Then update your antivirus software and scan your system
 
Thanks for the question Bilinda, and thanks for the
responses as well. I had this very same problem, and did
indeed find that the Blaster Worm was on my system.
