while I am using Internet in WINDOWS XP suddenly a
Shutdown window would appear that causes my computer to be
shutdown . it says this shut down is initiated by NT
AUTHORITY\SYSTEM what does it mean?

You are infected with the Blaster worm virus.



To stop the rebooting/shutdowns, right click on the task bar, choose task
manager, processes tab, look for msblast.exe. Highlight it and click end
process. Then turn on the xp firewall.

To turn on the firewall: control panel, network and internet connections,
network connections, right click your connection, properties, advanced tab,
check the protect my computer box. Do this as quickly as you can once the
desktop comes up. Then visit the sites below for the removal and patch info.

Also make sure to follow the links to the Microsoft pages for the patch or

You have the msblaster worm. Stay off the Internet. On another machine,
go to www.sarc.com and get the removal tool or run Stinger from AVERT:
http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/. Read the removal instructions
carefully.

You probably have the famous Blaster virus that was
generating te shutdown few month ago.

Apply the latest securuty pack from windowsXP and run
antiviruse to remove

good luck
