NT Authority\System...(SHUTDOWNS!)

I'm getting this message followed by a 00:00:59 countdown. Then it shuts off. What do I need to do. I've downloaded a few security patches already.

Use msconfig to acsess the start up menu.
Deselect "MSBLAST" it is a virus/worm type thing.
Do a search on how to remove the ******.
You will find it resident in C:\WINDOWS\system32,rename it and remove it.
Good luck ( i hope i got this right...lol )
