Shutdown

[Terry W. Howard]

I have a two week old HP with xp. I am experiencing a
error that comes up and shut the computer down. I doen't
give a error number just that it is because of an rcp
(remote control procedure) and the system will be shut
down in 1 minute. It seems to be happening when I have
been going to the Broderbund movie shop website. Any ideas?

You have been infected with the MSBLAST worm. See the following for

You have the Blaster worm!!

First, stop the bug from running by hitting CTRL-ALT-DELETE and
bringing up the task manager. Look for msblast.exe in the list, and
kill it. Now your computer won't shut down, but the bug is still there
and will run the next time you start your machine. Go to this URL to
find out how to get rid of it:
