Well when i connect to the Internet

[Psylo]

Well, First of all im just using Windows XP and then when ever i connect to the Internet I got a shutdown message saying Your Computer Will restart in 60 seconds. Why does this happen what is the problem?

It's Sasser worm. You can stop the countdown by doing this, go to Start > Run and type shutdown -a and press ENTER. Next, download the patch from Microsoft and install it. Download the Sasser removal tool from Symantec and run it.
Note: Security patch from Microsoft must be installed to cover the vulnerability.

You have virus. Possibly MSblaster or sasser. Download Norton antivirus or Panda antivirus to get rid of it.

yes do exactly what he has said...

another thing that i want to ADD is load the windows XP SP2 & use a good antivirus like KAV Perpro 5.0 or the NAV 2005....

One more thing I want to add to Saurav's post, get urself a free copy of SP2 here:

Order Windows XP Service Pack 2 on CD

KAV Perpro 5.0

I've used this and KAV beta , they detect the viruses and trojans but dont remove them on restart as they mention it.

hi there !

you've been infected with sasser or the lovesan virus.
first run your virus scan (avast) at boot time or safe mode using deep-scan modes.
then download and use the latest sasser removal tool and sasser fixer tool (microsoft/symantec).
then patch up your pc with KB835732 patch.
use zone alarm firewall, when on the net.
install sp2. take windows updates.

have fun !
