Automatic Restart in 1 min problem

Hey howz it goin,
ive got the same problem with my computer right now. i
think its some virus or something. You can disable that
1min restart by going to Admin tools, Component services
and go to RPC and where is says restart computer, just
click on No action. and it wont restart but you still
need to get it fixed or it will stuff it even more.
HOpe that was some help

This may work, but it's patching a major arterial bleed with an
itty-bitty bandaid. This is the MSBlast or Blaster Worm. A google
search will turn up how to rid a system of it. First thing is to
patch your computer and quit ignoring MS security warnings; then get
decent firewall/AV software - and UPDATE the signatures of the AV
software regularly!
