My XP Keeps shutting down for now particular reason. The
message that pops up says that the NT/System authority
shut me down. What do I do?
 
Hi Donnie,

It's a virus called blaster or lovesan. Information:

You need the patch described here to protect against it:

MS03-026: Buffer Overrun in RPC Interface May Allow Code Execution
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=823980

Problem is, you needed to install the patch BEFORE you got infected to avoid
it.
