i have a mate who has a virus on his pc or at least im
pretty sure it is

everytime he logs onto xp under any username the pc logs out
and shuts down

any thoughts on what to do or download?

kind of hard if you can't even really start up the computer.

its hard to say what it is, but it sounds similar to
W32/Blaster-A. If it has any of these descriptions

then there you go.

Also, if warning of shutdown does come up, just type the
command in dos prompt: shutdown -a then work on it.

If he's got time between shutdowns, tell him to type in
services.msc in the run command, then pick Remote Procedure
Call and disable it. His computer will stay on forever and
ever amen. Then it's just a matter of using a virus removal
tool whenever.

Or you can use the link Hanky gave you and do whatever it
says. I'm late.
