machine crashing

Xref: kermit microsoft.public.windowsxp.general:888743

Our machine is crashing about every 10 minutes and will
then reboot itself. We are running XP Home edition and
are ususally on AOL when the problem occurs.

Any help

Thank you

It is either a computer worm/virus (e.g. Blaster, see
www.microsoft.com/blaster for how to deal with it), or AOL software
(which is not known for it's quality). Check for the worm first, then
try AOL for help.

It appears your computer has been infected with the Blaster virus. For more
