Whenever I open my Microsoft Internet Explorer it give me
a message saying that the program has generated an error
and will be closed. My AOL browser was working fine.
However my account with AOL expired and I had to go with
another Internet service provider that uses Microsoft
Internet Explorer and can't use it. So I used the CDs that
came originally with my PC to restore the original system.
And now I can get through Microsoft Internet Explorer
however, after few minutes of being online I get a warning
message saying that my system will shot down in 1 minute
and asking me to save all my work. I tried to restore my
system a gaing but cannot get red of this problem!!!
Please Help

possibly the ms blast worm. did you turn on the (ha) xp
firewall in the modem connection properties ,settings.? an
infection can occur from just logging on to the net to the
rpc vulnerability.

Sounds like the Blaster worm.
Your system is infected by the MSBlaster Worm. This is causing the system to
shutdown abnormally.

From Ron Martel

Do steps 1 and 2 on your working computer.

1. Get the Blaster removal script from MVP Kelly Theriot's web site:
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/regs_edits/msblast.vbs
2. Get the Microsoft patch from
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;823980#WinXP

Copy the downloaded files to a 3.5 inch diskette (they will both fit
on the same 1.44 mb diskette) or burn them to a CD

3. Disconnect the infected computer from the Internet. Unplug
Cable/DSL modem if you have one. That prevents reinfection during the
time interval between running the script and the completion of the
patch installation.
4. Run the script.
5. Install the patch.
6. Activate the Internet Connection Firewall in Windows XP
7. Reconnect to the Internet. Update your antivirus software and do
a complete scan.
8. Go to the Windows Update and get all repeat all of the critical
updates for your computer.

Good luck
