My computer keeps shutting down after 10 mins. It says its shutting down by NT Authority System. I remember someone had the Win32 Blaster when it did it. Do I have it? I checked with AntiVirus and its not detecting anything. What should I do?

disconnect your cable from your NIC/modem before the counter gets to
00:00:00

and it will stop your machine from rebooting

thats what they said in that page greedy posted ..i think

i guess the idea would be to go to another computer and get the fix from the net
and do the repair while it was offline?

Disconnecting the cable does not stop the countdown. On XP you can type 'shutdown -a' to prevent reboot. This will allow you to download the patch. Disconnecting the cable or disabling the network interface will prevent re-infection while you run the removal tool and apply the security patch.

I deleted the Win32 Blaster Worm but it came back in like 5 minutes. I have a 56k. It seems to shut down when I go on my other internet service. I will try the patch. Thanks for your help

You can abort the shutdown in a command window with "shutdown -a".
