Sytem Shutdown

[Latonya]

I have recently upgrade W98 to W2000. Following the
upgrade I began having problems with my DSL service
through Earthlink. Whenever I contect to the router I
automatically get a system shutdown in 60 seconds. the
Error message reads "System Shutdow initated by NT
Authority\System" it goes on to read C:WINNT\Sys32
\lsass.exe terminated unexpectedly with status code 128.
Please help. I can only get online through dial up and I
am spending money on DSL service that I seemingly can't
use.

Hi,

Your system is not patches and is being attacked by worms on the internet.
First of all, you should install personal firewall that will protect access
to Windows 2000 from the internet. Next thing you will need to do is install
all the latest updates for Windows 2004 (SP4 + about 20-30 patches).

If you need a free personal firewall take a look at
http://www.sygate.com/firewall/. To patch your Windows go to
www.windowsupdate.com

To add to what Mike suggested you probably have blaster or sasser [first
guess] worm. Make sure you follow his suggestions and also install an
antivirus program that will monitor your computer, keep itself updated, and
scan ALL your emails also. The first link below is to a free Singer utility
from Mcafee that is a small download that may be able to detect and remove
the worm. The second link is to a company that offers a quality fee
antivirus program for home users. --- Steve
