happening. i've tried to read over the knowledge base
but can't stay online long enough to get far.

Apparently, your computer has an unwelcome visitor (VIRUS) known
as the WM32 Blaster/Lovsan WORM.

It entered the computer through the internet connection because the "firewall"
was not properly enabled and essential critical updates were not installed from
the Windows Update website. For instructions on fixing the problem, visit:

If your computer is constantly attempting to shutdown
or reboot, quickly go to:

Start > Run and type: CMD , and hit enter.
This opens the Command Prompt window.

Then type: shutdown -a , and hit enter.

This should halt the rebooting problem.

Then immediately turn-on Windows XP's built-in Firewall:

pete;
You have a problem. Do a search here for RPC or Remote Procedure Call or
NT AUTHORITY. You should find something these have been being posted for a
couple of weeks. Or just scroll down and have a look.
