Everytime I go into MSN Explorer, this pop up comes up saying "System Shutdown" and it starts at 1:00 and counts down til it's time to restart the computer. I always have to use my calendar to be able to use the internet. Is something wrong with my pc?

uninstall MSN explorer from Add/Remove Windows Component
make sure ur AV has the latest definitions
unplug internet connection
run AV
run windows scandisk

It seems like a Policy has been set for the user ur logged in under (are u logged in as an admin of the pc?)

My AV doesn't work.
MSN doesn't appear when I goto the uninstall Windows Component.
I've been unplugging it.
And Where is the ScanDisk?
I am a Admin of my PC, yes.

Get a working AV, i think you have the msblast virus. I cant believe that nasty virus is still crawling.

skip MSN for now, follow above

Double-click My Computer, and then right-click the hard disk drive you want to check.
Click Properties, and then click Tools.
In Error-checking, click Check Now.

Yeah its the mblast worm, get a firewall. Like sygate, there is a way to stop it without a firewall but i dont know offhand.
