Random Shutdowns? You May Have a Worm
=====================================

SUMMARY: A virus or worm may cause your Windows XP machine to turn off
unexpectedly.

Does your Windows XP system randomly shut down or try to reboot every
few minutes? If so, your machine *may* be infected with the Blaster,
Sasser, or other worms. I say *may* because I don't want to scare you -
there are other things that may be causing these random shutdowns, but
if you are experiencing this annoyance, you may want to check out the
following sites on Microsoft.com that explain the Blaster and Sasser
worms, how to stop your system from getting exploited again by the
worms, and how to completely remove the worms from your system. The web
addresses:
