web sites cause shutdown

[Mark & Donna Corbelli]

I've been trying to track this down... Areas within certain web sites
(normal ones like CBS Sportsline and now eBay) have been causing my computer
to shut down. I tried disabling my firewall (Norton), all my updates are
current, and I have scanned and there are no viruses. Any ideas?

you get a pop up that tells you to save all data windows
will be shutting down in like 45 seconds due to some kind
of remote right

No, no notice at all. However, I have a popup killer installed so it might
say that, I'm not sure.

Never disable your firewall!!Do you have Norton Family
Enabled. Sounds like you are configured wrong ..What
version of Norton Internet Security?

I only disabled it temporarily to see if it helped or not. I have Norton
Internet Security 2003.

Hi,

To stop the reboots: Go to Start/Run and type in: services.msc. Scroll down
to Remote Procedure Call (RPC)/Recovery/First Failure/Restart the Service.

Close Windows Explorer, run the edit on line 257 which includes the prompt
for the patch once your system has been cleaned.

This script removes all variants of the W32.Blaster.Worm (original, B, C, D,
E and F) and will inform you whether or not the patch is already installed.

I will try this angle, but how can I be infected when my Norton's AV is
current and scans don't show anything?
