Hi Chris,
Read this posting from Jupiter Jones [MVP] which I have
copied and pasted.
By the way, try shutdown -a, I've read that will stop the
shutdown process.

Posting from Juputer Jones (MVP) -
You most likely have a worm W32.Blaster.Worm
DISCONNECT the subject computer from any network
IMMEDIATELY.

Install or enable a firewall IMMEDIATELY:

VERY IMPORTANT to follow ALL steps, closing ports or
installing the
patch is NOT enough.
Download the patch and regedit referenced in the article
below.
You may need to do this at an uninfected computer and burn
to CD or
save on floppies.
Each file is small enough to fit on a floppy.

Follow this to clean and protect your computer:

After this is resolved prevent similar occurrences by
installing ALL
Critical Updates from Windows Update.
Keep antivirus up to date and run at least weekly.
Install or enable a firewall.
