Msn (system Shutdown)

[RyanHayes1984]

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.

go to symantec, get the trial version for now (corporate), install, update definitions, unplug internet connection
skip MSN for now, follow above
follow above
scandisk

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.

ok

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.
