Everytime I try to connect to the internet I get this message: This system is shutting down. Please save all work and log off...
This shut down was initiated by NT AUTHORITY/SYSTEM.
Any help out there?!!
Thanks

You have one of the recent highly-publicized worms, probably
either Sasser or Blaster. You got this by running without a
firewall and not keeping up with the latest Windows Critical
updates from Microsoft.

To find out which worm you have and get help in getting rid of
it, please post back with the *complete* text of the message you
received.

You're welcome. That's Sasser. First go to Start | Run and type

shutdown -a

That will stop it from shutting down.

Then get the W32.Sasser Removal Tool (Line 321) Right hand side)
