    Switch on the Auto Updates and get your system protected! :eek:

    The fix for this particullar error, I believe (if memory serves), involves going into the Admin Tools, Services, RPC, and enabling the service to restart after a failure, rather than its default behaviour (sp?) of Restarting the Computer.

    It may or may not be a virus Sasser/Blaster did similar things but essentially services.exe controls when services are loaded, hence if a service which is needed by windows itself fails then the computer will want to re-boot.

    I agree that before you start trying to find a virus or any malware responsible for this. you should update the computer to SP2 and download all the latest patches. There are patches which specifically relate to this kind of issue.

    If you have problems downloading because of the re-booting, you can temporarily disable the re-boot by shelling out to the command prompt and typing shutdown -a

    If the problem still persists after doing the updates, then that is the time to start delving into possible malware infection.

    I can only echo what Bluerinse said.

    Use the Shutdown -a from the command prompt.
