strange shutdown message

[ssahl]

I have never saw this before, have no idea what it means. Can someone tell me why I got this message. I have posted a pic of the actual window that came up.

Lots of luck, today one of my die hard AOL users ("I just couldn't do without my AIM and my AOL E-Mail buddy list type person) got this very same thing and it wiped out her system files. So she will be without the computer for a couple of days til I can get to it.
Incidently, about six months ago she had to have her mainboard replaced because of, you guessed it, a nasty virus from her beloved AOL buddy list mail.

I installed the update, so far have not seen that message again, also I have been using firewall most all the time now aside from when I host on some games, before I never thought much of not having it on, now even after hosting on a game, when I'm done I will go offline turn firewall back on then go back online.

I was just coming here to ask about this exact same thing. For the last week, every time I boot it up I get an error report for dcom.exe and then a couple hours later the shutdown message. No I get the shutdown the instant it boots up...can't do a thing with it.

Now when booting up, it first shows an error report of iexplore.exe, then of dcom.exe, and then repeats them both again a few seconds later, and then about a minute after that the shutdown message. I tried installing the update, but got an error on that also.
