You lost me there.

Right now I am trying to tell him how to stop the shutdown. "Why" is another
problem to resolve, but first they need time to figure out what's going on.
As the original post stated that AVG was uninstalled and reinstalled, if the
firewall was down on a reboot this machine would easily and quickly be
infected. Once it (blaster or sasser) has a foothold, it matters not whether
or not the machine is still connected, the machine will still suffer from
the symptoms.
