Has anybody been having problems with their pc suddenly starting a countdown and then shutting down.
We have been inundated with people today who have been having this problem.

Oscar will put a post on to explain what to do to sort it out. Hope it will be useful.                                                            
 
Not had this problem but someone told me today about a new virus currently doing the rounds that prevents the cutting and pasting of text.
 
...Blaster is a worm that infects only Windows 2003/XP/2000/NT computers. Blaster exploits the Buffer Overrun in RPC Interface vulnerability to spread to as many computers as possible. Blaster launches denial of service (DoS) attacks...
 
Patch has to be downloaded before Saturday, apparently, as Windows Update is what is affected and that's when it all kicks off?
