It's funny I have just been trying to help someone with that exact same problem.

More than likely it is using the DCOM RPC exploit. Symantec as of a few minutes ago issued this W32.blaster.worm security response.

This is probably going to be a big one.

Hi!

I had the same problem with my laptop shutting down. Turns out it was a virus that the latest security download from microsoft took care of. No problems since.

Same thing happened to my sister's computer(she has XP home edition). It was aggravating because she was on dial-up and it seemed like forever to get the download before it shutdown. I finally did and all is well now.
