Exclamation self shutdown????

I don't know this as I have never seen this b4 in my whole life. While working on me pc a popup will come and say. NT Admin Shutting PC down in 60sec, plz save all work. Err 208...?? Plz help me fix this as it's annoying.

Thx
Flye

PS: I have Norton, AD Aware, and spybot ... nothing is picked up but one thing though. Norton can't scan boot record? Maybe a virus there? How do I check me boot record for virus.

Hi Flyeboy,

I know how to suspend this countdown, please follow these steps:

1. start
2. Run
3. type in shutdown -a
4. Hit enter.

I have sent a PM to a tech team member to have a look into this, it could be malware like you said.

Chris

I believe it should be done before it comes up, but you could try it when it is up. Make sure you type in exactly this without the quotes "shutdown -a"
