That's what my home computer is right now (came to the office to check email).
Virus? Don't think so.
Microsoft? Yep!
I get an "LA Shell (Export Version)" error, then it does the auto shutdown - referencing lsass.exe. The desktop is mostly gone, but I can at least boot up. The laptop tries to boot up and gives an error that says, basically, lsass.exe tried to send a password that was incorrect; then it tries to reboot, hits the same error, tries to reboot, hits the same error.....
Blogging will be lite, to say the least. I can read your comments and emails from work, though, so keep 'em coming - especially if you know what particular "feature" I am dealing with.
UPDATE: it's a worm
UPDATE: Apparently, it's not a worm...or it is...or it was... I ran the Sasser removal tool which says I am not infected, though the patch did seem to stop that particular error. Now I am getting "generic host process for Win32 services" has quit error, followed by auto shutdown - referencing "Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service" Bah! Antivirus is up-to-the-minute up-to-date, scan reveals no infection or compromise.
