I play poker on line ,several times during the session I
get a virus warning that has been taken care of by Norton,
alittle time passes and then i get a pop up of system
shutting down in 60 seconds,after that time windows xp
shuts down and I have to start over again getting on line
and playing poker again.The shutdown is by NT authoity
systems. I have down loaded Blaster Worm , but that did
not help help

Blaster Worm FAQ

1. CTRL-ALT-DELETE to bring up the Task Manager. Look for msblast.exe and
select it and End Process. This will stop the computer from shutting down.
It doesn't remove the worm.

To enable your firewall :
- Click Start
- Click Control Panel
- Double Click "Network Connections"
- Right-click on your Dial up Connection, then left click 'Properties'
- Left Click 'Advanced' Under "Internet Connection Firewall" tick the box
'Protect my computer and networking by limiting or preventing access to this
computer from the internet'
- Click Ok and Close the "network connections" box.
You can then connect to the Internet and download the Microsoft relevant
patch.

You could also try:
Click Start/Run then type in cmd
and then type in : shutdown -a
Do this when the shutdown prompt appears.
