Hi Guy
We use windows xp home ed. After surfing a coulple of min. a box pop
up stating shutdown was initiated by nt authority/ system remot
procedure call terminated. and the computer shuts off than back on
With a 1 minute countdown
I have searched the net and noticed that this may of had something t
do with the Blaster worm
However i have carried out a full security scan using my upto dat
security software as well as an independent scan of my system usin
the Norton security check website
Further to this i have also tried using the blaster removal tool whic
states that no such virus had been found
I feel i may have done something somewhere along the line
Help in desperation and replies in simple terms for this compute
simpleton please
Cheer

Have you disable for firewall for a moment? Have you installed SP2?

Greetings,

First of all, try scanning your system with your anti-virus program and make
sure you have the latest definations. Secondly, do a Windows Update SCAN.

Hi,

Could be blaster, could also be sasser. Either way, you are infected.
