System shutdown

[Tony]

I'm using WindowXP OS
Ilog onto the Internet and about 10 minutes later, this
appears on my screen: "This system is shutting down.
Please save all work in progress and log off. Any
unsaved changes will be lost." Then it asks if I want to
send an error report, and whether I do or not, another
box appears a couple minutes later, saying this, "This
shutdown was initiated by NT AUTHORITY/SYSTEML. The
system process 'C:/WINDOWS/SYSTEM32/lsass.exe' with
status code -1073741819. This system will now shut down
and restart." There is a one-minute countdown and then
my computer restarts. I'm not sure if this is happening
because of something with the Internet or something that
has to do with Microsoft. I just recently downloaded
Microsoft XP, but didn't have this problem for the first
couple of weeks. Has anyone seen anything like this, or
know what I can do to stop it?

Hi Tony,

before going to the internet turn on ICF (Internet Connection Firewall).
Then go to www.windowsupdate.com and update your windows.

You can turn on ICF by going to properties of you connection that you use to
access the internet, go to Advanced tab and select "Protect my computer and
network by limiting."

To update your windows wisit above website and click "Scan for updates"
