Systems shutdown notices and Security leak notices

[Damaris Arroyo]

I have Windows XP and after few minutes connected to the
internet, I get the Systems needs to shut down notice.

In addition, while on the internet I also receive notices
that I have security leaks and to log on to a site for
help. I don't know if its a virus or an actual notice.
