hi. just since last thursday or friday. i will be online
and all of a sudden a message shows up on my screen
saying something like this.
"this system is shutting down. please save all work-
initiated by NT authority system, and then something
about a remote procedure call.
i have kept my virus protection up to date(just bought it
a month ago) and it doesnt show a virus upon scanning.
the only thing i can think of is the windows updates that
microsoft automatically does. please help

Apparently, your computer has an unwelcome visitor (VIRUS) known
as the WM32 Blaster/Lovsan WORM.

It entered the computer through the internet connection because the "firewall"
was not properly enabled and essential critical updates were not installed from
the Windows Update website. For instructions on fixing the problem, visit:

Blaster Worm: Critical Security Patch for Windows XP (32-bit version)

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:
