is there any type of shutdown message, like nt authority
or rpc service?
if so then you have the blaster.
continue on if blaster....
If your computer is constantly attempting to shutdown
or reboot, quickly go to:
Start > Run and type: CMD , and hit enter.
This opens the Command Prompt window.
Then type: shutdown -a , and hit enter.
This should halt the rebooting problem.

Then immediately turn-on Windows XP's built-in Firewall:
http://www.microsoft.com/security/protect/
(To enable the built-in firewall, go to:
Control Panel, double-click Networking and Internet
Connections, then click Network Connections. Right-click
your connection, then Click Properties, and on the
Advanced tab, click the option "Protect my computer and
network..." Note: the built in firewall only monitors
incoming traffic not outgoing (ie spyware, trojans, etc..
you may have on your system).)
Special note if you use AOL:
America Online installs its own connection settings that
override the ones that come with Windows XP. America
Online's connection settings don't include a way to turn
on Windows XP's built-in firewall.
