If the worm is on the computer, it will only shutdown the
machine when it is connected to the internet. You need to
disconnect from internet first. Boot off xp cd go to
recovery console and run a chkdsk /r, let it finish. What
happened is the patch probably did not install correctly,
usual cause antivirus software not turned off before
installing.
