Rich,

Your system is infected by RPC (W32.Blaster) Worm. This is causing the system to shutdown abnormally.

Cause: You have not enabled the firewall while browsing the internet and not patched the system with latest Microsoft WindowUpdate hotfixes.

Follow the Removal, Repair Solution:

A tool is available to remove Blaster worm and Nachi worm infections from computers that are running Windows 2000 or Windows XP: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=833330

I get a message that windows is going to shut down and says NT Authority/System. This happens when I log on to the internet.
