Ron,
If you were connected to the internet for as long as 30 seconds, and have not
yet installed a software firewall, and up to date antivirus, and applied all
recommended patches, you could be infected again.
What error do you see when it shuts down?
If your computer is constantly attempting to shutdown or reboot:
Start - Run, type "shutdown -a", and hit Enter.
That should halt the reboot. Now fix the problem.
Immediately turn-on Windows XP's built-in Firewall:

Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing.
