It sounds like you've got the RPC worm virus called ms.blast.exe.
You should download the patch from Mickey soft (Microsoft) using a secured PC.

Moving to the Security forum, as that is where we deal with these kinds of issues.

Hayate,

What you have might not necessarilly be a virus; "spyware"-type programs can often cause these kinds of problems, and anti-virus programs won't detect/remove them.

Have a read through the other threads in Security to find info on how to detect these pests and how to remove them if they're in your system.

Oh, and BTW: I see this is your first post here- welcome!

:)

Don't really know if this will help or not or whether the problem has been solved or not but i've had that before. when the dialogue box giving you 1 min to save everything in RUN type shutdown -a and the countdown will stop
