You most likely have the blaster worm.
When the shutdown countdown starts go to: Start> run> type 'shutdown -a'
without the quotes. Hit okay. Do it again should the countdown start again
during the process.
Then go Start> contol panel> network connections> select your internet
connection and right click it. Select properties. Click the advanced tab and
tick the 'protect this...' box. Hit okay until the boxes disappear.
Now go to
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.blaster.worm.removal.tool.html
and read the page. Download the fixblast.exe (link about half way down that
page). Run it.
When your machine is clean, go to windowsupdate.com and download all the
recommended fixes.

Greetings --

If you connected the PC to the Internet without having first
installed the KB824146 Hotfix, without having first installed an
antivirus application with current virus definition files, and before
enabling a firewall, you're very likely to get infected from any of
the thousands of PCs on the Internet that are constantly broadcasting
the Blaster and/or Welchia worms. It only takes a few seconds of
exposure.

To stay on-line long enough to get the necessary updates, patches,
and removal tools, click Start > Run, and enter "shutdown -a" when the
next RPC countdown begins. This will abort the shut down. Also, make
sure you've enabled a firewall before starting, to preclude any more
intrusions while getting the updates/patches/tools.
