I had the same problem from trying to install MSN9. I
had created a POP3 account that was the culprit. I went
back and deleted POP3 and that problem quit.

If you were getting the same warring and it was shutting your system down as
described in the original post, you would be well advised to run a virus
scan as that is a symptom of the blaster worm.
