Do you have an updated anti virus installed? If so, do a full system scan, if not, download/buy one now. Take a look at the removal instructions on the page I linked to.

Yup that sounds like what 4th gen said.

Just to cancel the shutdown when it starts to appear
Go to
Start > Run > cmd

type
shutdown -a
this will abort the shutdown for the time being. Then follow the instructions on that page.

and download a good firewall such as sygate or zonealarm.

i did the updates, and now everything is super slow.. the firewall gonna take forever on 56k.

i just installed zonealarm, and now i keep gettin netbios attacks. i also ran the symantec W32.Blaster.Worm utility and it says the worm is not found. would updating norton antivirus 2003 find it? cause 7mb on 56k..again <_<

You should always keep your AV definitions updated. It shouldn&#39;t be 7MB for the updates, but even if it is, don&#39;t you think that&#39;s worth the download time?
