[Devin Panchal]

hi,
i have got ntl broadband. i am running windows xp. everytime i start my
computer, a minute later i get an error message, and the computer restarts
after a minute. i have enabled my firewall and it is still happening. i also
have a new file called 'msblast' in the startup. this is the startup, when
u click on run and type in msconfig. then go to startup tab. i have a new
one called msblast.exe. i want to know how to get rid if this, and how to
get my connection back to normal? will doing a system restore help? and i
cannot download any patches, as i only have a minute to find them?
