And I hate it.

youve got the blaster virus (worm)...microsofts website has a removal tool you can download

if you get the countdown timer before you download the tool go start > run and type 'shutdown -a' without quotes to disable the timer temporarily

Uhh, where is the download?

And yes, it's popped up a lot recently, though for about 3 days it hasn't done anything. It usually pops that message up when I have a lot of programs up and I haven't had more than 2 since I took note of that.

You should also run one of the many free anti-spyware/virus tools.

i guess theyve removed it since the malicious software removal tool that comes out every month as part of windows update can remove the sasser worm

Works fine for me. Just do a Microsoft Update, update.microsoft.com, and use one or two of the other tools I listed above and you'll be set to go. If your PC tries shutting down in the process just perform the following.

Start > Run... > Type "shutdown -a" > Click "OK"

I can look at your PC remotely if you trust me enough to take control of it. If not, you can post screen shots of your msconfig (Start > Run... > "msconfig" > OK) or a HiJackThis log. I or someone else will be able to tell you what can and cannot be checked.

He may not be able to access the page because the virus is blocking it i've had viruses that block my browser. Try downloading it on another pc and burning it to a disc and then using that to update it.
