This "creature" using the name of Lily and pretending to be one of the
Spanish MVP's has been posting this destructive nonsense all over this
group. Please ignore it. Your friend has the Sasser worm. Here is
information:

To stop the rebooting, go to Start>Run and type "shutdown -a" without
the quotes. For information about the worm, go here:

Get the worm off your system and then immediately patch XP:

Install an antivirus program and keep it updated. Install a firewall. XP
has a built-in firewall, or there are free alternatives like Zone Alarm
or Sygate.
