After i have been on the internet for about two mins. my computer shts down with the message.
NT AUTHORITY\ SYSTEM is closing down please save all work or it will be lost.
Then the computer shuts down.
I have just stated using WINDOWS XP it was very hard to load took about 6 tries to get the system up and running.

Hi John,

It's a virus called blaster or lovesan. Information:

You need the patch described here to protect against it:

MS03-039: A Buffer Overrun in RPCSS Could Allow an Attacker to Run Malicious
Programs
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=824146

Problem is, you needed to install the patch BEFORE you got infected to avoid
it.
