    Nick --

    If your computer is constantly rebooting, quickly go to:
    Start > Run and type: shutdown -a , and hit enter.

    This should halt the rebooting problem.

    Then immediately turn-on Windows XP's built-in Firewall:

    How do I turn on the Firewall?

    You have an unwelcome visitor known as the WM32 Blaster/Lovsan worm.
    It entered your computer through your internet connection because the "firewall"
    was not properly enabled and essential critical updates were not installed from
    the Windows Update website. For instructions on fixing the problem, visit:

    the instructions.

    After fixing the problem, visit the following web sites:

    Essential Security Tools for Home Office Users

    Last, but not least, consider purchasing and installing a comprehensive
    internet security package, such as:

    Norton Internet Security 2003
    http://www.symantec.com/sabu/nis/nis_pe/

    -- Includes Norton AntiVirus 2003
    -- Includes Norton Personal Firewall
    -- Automatically updates itself
    -- Includes prevention of annoying web pop-ups
    -- Includes Parental Controls
    -- All in one, easy-to-install & manage package
