My computer gets a system shutdown message that gives me a one minute countdown to log off and close everything every time I open MSN. Is it a virus or what?

Yes, it is a virus, can't remember the name.
Time for a full virus scan.

.. I've been online for like 30 minutes and I already have a virus. :ro+lleyes:
Edit: I think I read about it online.. *goes back to HP site* This computer is ancient, so.. it may have already had it.

It's probably sasser or some derivative of sasser.
If you don't have anti virus software running on your comp it will get infected as soon as you hook into the network if there is a version of sasser (or numerous other) viruses in the wild on that net.

Yeah. I need to download AVG asap. It's the Blaster-Worm virus, right? At least it tells how to get rid of it.

Whatever..
The link has what's affected; The Virus is the Blaster Worm I think; Windows XP Home; I don't have one since I just readded the internet.. But I'm downloading AVG free 7.5, and I guess it's updated since I just downloaded it. I'm downloading the "patch" that Microsoft has for the Blaster Worm virus, so I'll see if it works.

Heres a link to a list of tools on the Symantec website
http://www.symantec.com/home_homeoff...movaltools.jsp
and a link specifically to the Blaster worm
http://www.symantec.com/home_homeoff...081119-5051-99
If you can, run the link to the Symantec Online Scanner -- it will at least give you a name, then go back to the first link in this post, and hopefully there is a tool that can fix it for you.
Okay, so how do you disable system restore?
Nevermind .

System REstore: click on Start
Then click on Help and Support.
Somewhere on there, you will see System Restore. It is on the left on my PC.
You have to have a restore point set up already. You should see a calendar which will identify restore points for you. Take a guess as to when the virus came in, and restore to a point before that.
Good luck!
.
I was just going to system restore the whole thing, because it worked the last time I had a killer virus that was destroying my computer, but I'll just follow what the symantec site says and I'll also run AVG while I'm running it just to make sure I'm getting everything. Thanks for all the help!

The symantec thing said the blaster worm was gone, so the patch hopefully fixed it.

You're lucky. That virus fried my computer last year.
9/3/13
I did the right thing by setting you free
But the pain is very deep.
If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
I miss you
I hear you whimper in your sleep
I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.
Fur as dark as the night.
Join me on this flight.
Paws of love that follow me.
In my heart you'll forever be.
[/SIZE]
How I wish I could hold you near.
Turn back time to make it so.
Hug you close and never let go.

Just a few suggestions:
Download AdAware from Lavasoft. The personal edition is free for home use. That will stop some popups and is a decent spyware removal tool when used in conjunction with Spybot search and Destroy.
They are both free programs, but they both update the spyware/adware definitions on a regular basis.
They virus scanner in conjunction with the spyware programs normally keeo systems pretty clean.
