Window XP Rebooting Unexpectedly

[needhelpbad]

Apparently, XP has a function that reboots the system
whenever it feels the system is in fear or disaster. It's
doing this because of some software I added. But when I
try to remove the software, it keeps rebooting before I
finish. I know there is a way to cut this off in the
registry file by simply changing 1 to 0 or vice versa, but
I forgot where this is done. Could someone point me in the
right direction?

Hello
It could be the result of a virus, to my knowledge XP has no function to do
that, or maybe my system has not been that much in fear or distress.....

To stop the shutting down provided you have time
Start>Run>(type) cmd>(type) shutdown -a>Enter

Have you checked for the sasser worm

Download, Update & Run Ad-Aware

Download and run a virus scan to check against yours.(free)

Right click on MY COMPUTER > Properties > Advanced >
Start up and Recovery > settings

Under SYSTEM FAILURE uncheck the box that says

AUTOMATICALLY RESTART

Then you will have a blue screen with information instead of the abrupt
restart.

Hope this helps.
