Shutdown headache

[John Cave]

Hi,
Every time I use the internet my p.c puts up an error
message NT AUTHORITY/SYSTEM needs to close the computer
down and restart. Can anyone tell me how to prevent this
happening, and stop me going up the wall.Thanks John.

Yes, I do know....you need to install the windows-
worm...it's an anti-virus for the worm they had a few
months ago... I downloaded it and have had no more error
messages....
Hope it works for you..

Hi John,
It seems that you have a Blaster worm as the same has
happened to me; it only happens when you're connected to
the internet as it uses a flaw in Windows RPC. This link
describes the problem and how to fix it.

Good luck
