Computer Shutting Down

[Jennifer]

I can't get my computer to stop shutting itself down (and
closing everything that I had open at that time) after a
short period of inactivity. Maybe 20 mins. It does this
despite the fact that I've removed all of the power
schemes except for one, and on that one I have told it to
never stand by and never hibernate while plugged in (and
stand by after 1 hour on battery power). And yes the
computer is plugged in. It is driving me crazy and I
have even done system restores in the past trying to get
to a point where it wasn't shutting down. This solved
the problem for awhile, it stopped doing it for awhile,
but now all of a sudden it started doing it again and
I've made no changes, added no new software, nothing.
Any ideas?

Could it be the Blaster worm virus??

Sounds like you have a case of the Blaser Virus makes you

computer shut down..Sorry that is no good. Make purchase
anti-virus or if you already have one scan & see if you
are infected.
