My computer has been shutting down over the past few days due to this virus. I have been trying to fix this but I can't seem to get it. Does anyone know how to get rid of this? Thanks.

And the virus is???

the virus is that nt authority/system. thats what it says when it comes up and then it starts a counts down from a minute before my computer restarts.

it won't be called that. whatever it is it sounds similar to the blaster worm that was about a few years ago. to stop it restarting your PC, go to START -> RUN -> "SERVICES.MSC" -> double click "Remote Procedure Call (RPC)" -> click recovery -> Change first, second and subsequent failures to "Take no action" -> click OK.

That should stop the restarting. then go HERE and run a virus and spyware scan. (even if you have your own AV installed) let that scan run and see what it finds.
