System Shutdown

[Guest]

At a seemingly random time the prossess Isass.exe crashes.
Then this little "pop-up" says that NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM has
detected that Isass.exe has shutdown and will restart your
system. Then it has a one minute timer to show you how long
you have to saave your work. How do I keep this Isass.exe
from crashing???

Sorry, in such a case it's essential to format

Greetings --

You've apparently contracted the latest worm, W32.Sasser.Worm,
specifically designed to attack people who do not update their
computers promptly and who do not practice "safe hex." In other
words, like Blaster, this worm was developed and distributed _after_ a
patch for the vulnerability was announced and made publicly available.
Further, and also like Blaster, this worm could not affect any
computer whose user had taken the basic precaution of using a properly
configured firewall.

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.
