Apparently, your computer has an unwelcome visitor known as the WM32 =
Blaster/Lovsan worm.
It entered your computer through your internet connection because the =
"firewall"
was not properly enabled and essential critical updates were not =
installed from
the Windows Update website. For instructions on fixing the problem, =
visit:

If your computer is constantly attempting to shutdown
or reboot, quickly go to:

Start > Run and type: shutdown -a , and hit enter.

This should halt the rebooting problem.

Then immediately turn-on Windows XP's built-in Firewall:
