You slept all the time and haven't even heard of MSBLAST-worm? It
spread in the wild at 11/08/2003, the fix is available since
16/07/2003.

Go to www.microsoft.com and read about it, update your system, update
your virus scanner and activate the firewall.

Ciao, Walter

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, =
visit:

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:
