You appear to have one of the blaster worm variants. To keep the system from shutting down, as soon as it boots do this:

go to Start, Run, type in shutdown -a and enter

Here's the link to the long version of the instructions. http://www.tiscali.co.uk/help/msbremove.html

I would also download MalwareBytes anti-malware from https://www.malwarebytes.com/ and run their program in "SAFE MODE"

Good Luck.

Hello Users,

I am having the same problem and follow the steps:

(1) I type shutdown -a on dos prompt and then

(2) I clean my computer with Matwarebytes Anti_Malware software and my computer is very clean but my computer is still shutting down. What I am going to do next?

Regards!!

I have tried EVERYTHING including Malwarebytes anti-malware and STILL I get that darn message and it counts down from .59 seconds and shuts my computer down and then it restarts, very frustrating--I iont know if it is a virus, a trojan, a worm, malware, but I have every conceivable anti-program running and I still get this shutdown message with the RED X in a circle! Help!

I found something thanks to Google...

Engadget and cnet.com say that it's a McAfee bug!

http://news.cnet.com/8301-1009_3-20003074-83.html?tag=smallCarouselArea.0

McAfee finds a false error and causes the DCOM shutdown. Follow the link in the article to download the 5959ddat.exe file

Problem solved! Let's hope that next time McAfee's programmers send the update to Testing before the release it to the public.

Thank you for this! I have McAfee so I will attempt to fix this now. The only problem is that after repeated restarts on my PC, it has now rendered all of my services unstartable. I went into Safe Mode and tried to run Malwarebytes and Mcafee. I get an error messages trying to run Mal, and McAfee won't start at all. I tried doing a system restore, but it keeps telling me the PC isn't protected and to restart and try again. This doesn't work... I have gone to last known good config, but this just brings me back to the 'not right' version of my XP desktop that I had after the many reboots (didn't read this article until after several).

So, I'm not sure how I can do this fix when I can't even open McAfee grrrr...

I had the exact same thing as JM and followed your instructions as well as those by the removal tool with the result of the worm not being found.

Something that may help in troubleshooting the issue is that my computer has not done the automated shutdown as previously described in postings. This could be due to the removal tool instructions of disconnecting from the network and shutting off the System Restore. I strongly believe it is the System Restore
The reason for my theory is due to the fact that the first time I tried running the removal tool, I did not perform those steps before running and the shutdown occurred while the tool was running. Finally, I have restored my network connection with no shutdown occurring.

Any other suggestions?

I spoke too soon! Within 2 minutes of my last post, the automated shutdown process occurred. This was with the System Restore off and the network link restored.

Again, any suggestions? Thanks!

My 11-year old daughter had the same problem. After reading online, I'd tried a number of the "solutions" to no avail. We also downloaded used Antimalware and SystemCare, ran scans, still the message about shutdown was appearing regularly. Then it occurred to me to ask her if she remembered when it started to happen, and she said that it was right after we'd downloaded and installed AVG. I uninstalled AVG and selected the option to removed Quarantined items (the program calls it something else, not Quarantined, but I can't remember the term they use). Several days later now, and the problem has not repeated itself. I never used the shutdown -a solution, although I suppose that command would stop a shutdown. I'm no expert, but cause-effect tells me this could actually be a problem with AVG's download and software. Hope it helps someone else!

i'm no expert neither, but I have the same problem after I have install AVG. Before I use to have avast and I had no problems. Now since I download that free 30 days trial of AVG I have that sutting down problem.
