Shutdown problems

[Hrogar]

For the last few weeks I've had this problem with the comp. After playing for a while (half an hour at first, nowadays more like 5 mins) I get this messagesound, and a moment later a System Shutdown-timer appears, counting down from 1:00 to 0, restarting the comp when it's done. It says the shutdown was initiated by NT AUTHORITY/SYSTEM, and I can't seem to locate the file or find a virus by that name.
Anyone else had this problem or know a solution to this?

Kind regards

It's the MSblaster virus.
When you get that message go to start -> Run, delete anything in there and type shutdown -a then go to this link for instructions on patching and removal.
While you're at it also search the symantec site for the w32.welchia virus removal tool. If you have blaster, you probably have or will get welchia too.
