Random Shut Downs

[zeal311]

My Norton Personal Firewall supscription ran out today and I hadn't been able to crack it yet. So I don't know if my computer got invaded with viruses all the sudden or what but now my computer shuts down and restarts about 2 mins after its on. Needless to say this fucking blows. Im typing from my family computer right now. The compaq piece. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I never use nortons or any other antivirus program like it and I have never been "invaded" before so no I doubt it's that.

Sounds like the last worm that went around though.

does it give you an lsass.exe error?

Nope. And another thing, in the few short seconds I have before it shuts down, Half the websites I try to go to it says that the connection was refused. I managed to install the blaster worm fix before it shut down and it did not help. FUCK :( :mad:

Bleh, if you don't have anything valuable, easiest way would be just to reformat your hard drive.

I really hate reformatting my comp. Some new Developments:
I have discovered that it is not random shut downs. I played an entire game of C&C and it did not shut down. It only shuts down when I do ceratin things. Im pretty sure it only shuts down when I do internet related things.

Edit: im almos tpositive its related to the firewall. I activated tyhe default windows firewall through the lan settings and the problem has stopped. My interet is now running extremely slow.
