Apparently, your computer has an unwelcome visitor (VIRUS) known=20
as the WM32 Blaster/Lovsan WORM.

It entered the computer through the 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, =

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

Start > Run and type: CMD , and hit enter.
This opens the Command Prompt window.

Then type: shutdown -a , and hit enter.

This should halt the rebooting problem.

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

This a virus called w32.Blaster.Worm. You need a patch to repair this
permanently.

Patch from Microsoft:

From a computer technician who fixed mine via a CD: Failure to do this will
ultimately destroy your computer as the virus spreads to other areas. This
isn't going away on its own.
