Auto Shut Down of Windows XP

[Guest]

H

I experienced lately while surfing internet at home with my WIndows XP. An auto shutdown message will display

.....This shut down was initiated by NT Authority\Syste

Message: This system process "C:\Windows\system 32\lsass.exe" terminated unexpectedly with status code -1073741819. This sys will now shut down and restart

The system then count down and restart by itself.

Please advise whether this is due to Windows XP, my DELL laptop PC or this is an internet-related problem

Many thanks

You know it always amazes me the people that wait to get a virus before they
decide to invest in antivirus software. Run, don't walk, and buy yourself a
good antivirus program like Symantec's Norton Antivirus or McAfee Antivirus.
You're infected with the blaster worm.

Also, you should install a firewall for additional protection. You can buy
a good firewall from Norton or McAfee or even download a free one at
www.zonelabs.com. Be sure that you read and understand the directions as
you can experience problems with programs accessing the net otherwise.

Congratulations!



Your system is infected with the much publicized Sasser worm. You allowed

yourself to become infected because of ALL of the following;



1. You have not updated your version of Windows.



2. You are not using an UP TO DATE antivirus program.



3. You connected to the internet without a firewall on your computer.



Until you correct ALL of the above situations, you will remain vulnerable to

infection not only by SASSER, but also by the thousands of other worms,

viruses, trojans, keyloggers, spyware, malware, etc.



Because you do not practice even the most basic level of computer security,

you are not only a threat to yourself but to the entire internet community.

When your machine is infected, it looks for other machines, owned by persons

like yourself who have poor computer security practices, to infect.



When the shutdown message appears, go START > Run and type in "shutdown -a"

(without the quotes), and hit the enter key. Go to the Microsoft update

website and download and install all critical patches. After rebooting, go

to the website of the company that makes your antivirus program and download

all the updates that are available. If your antivirus has expired, you must

purchase a new one.



Third, go to www.zonealarm.com and download the FREE firewall.



Keep your version of Windows updated. Always install any critical patches

that are posted to the Microsoft update website.



Keep you antivirus program up to date. New virus detection signatures are

released nearly on a daily basis, so this is something you should do every

day. Not once a month, or "when I have time", or "when I remember".



Once you have done these things, you will find your internet experience to

be much safer and happier.
