60 Second Shutdown Virus

[ATTech]

This reminds me of the blaster and nimda worms that hit in about 2003. They worked on a buffer overflow vulnerability in windows xp that was subsequently patched by Microsoft.

is the attached photo the same pop up you are seeing?

That's what I was thinking too. I haven't seen it in years, but I recall the aborting the shutdown and being able to repair it somehow. It's been a while but I think the repair is doable in windows.

BTW: I grew up in Farmingdale and also lived in Bayshore for 13 years.

Where are you headed? I grew up on Long Island, lived in Jersey, and left the area 17 plus years ago for the mountains of western North Carolina. Still have some family in your general area, headed up that way next month for a visit.
