After dish crash, installed Windows 98 on new disk. After upgrading with
Windows XP Home Edition, system does an auto shutdown displaying above
subject line information. How do I correct this?

Sounds like you have the Sasser worm. Go to the Symantec.com site and
search on Sasser. Print out the instructions and download the
FxSasser.exe file

To gain escape from the automatic shutdown, open a command window and
enter the command "shutdown -a" - without the quotation marks and
being sure to leave a space between the word shutdown and the hyphen.
Then run FxSasser.exe. If I'm wrong and you don't have the Sasser
worm, FxSasser.exe won't do anything but report that you don't have
the worm.

Oh, and if you're running Windows XP, download the critical updates
from around April/May, 2004. One of them fixes this.

You've apparently contracted the latest worm, W32.Sasser.Worm,
specifically designed to attack people who do not update their
computers promptly and who do not practice "safe hex." In other
words, like Blaster, this worm was developed and distributed _after_ a
patch for the vulnerability was announced and made publicly available.
Further, and also like Blaster, this worm could not affect any
computer whose user had taken the basic precaution of using a properly
configured firewall.

To stay on-line long enough to get the necessary updates, patches,
and removal tools, click Start > Run, and enter "shutdown -a" when the
next Shutdown countdown begins. This will abort the shut down. Also,
make sure you've enabled a firewall before starting, to preclude any
more intrusions while getting the updates/patches/tools.
