    Start -> Run -> shutdown -a
    should keep you up. Turn your firewall back on. Then try,
    http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.blaster.worm.html

    Or an online scan
    www.pandasoftware.com

    Your computer is now infected with the W32.Blaster.Worm or
    one of its variants. This happened because you have not
    been using an internet connection firewall and have
    apparently neglected to install the critical updates
    available at the Windows Update website.
    -----------------------------------------------------------
    -------
    If your computer is constantly attempting to shutdown
    or reboot, quickly go to:

    Start > Run and type: CMD , and hit enter.
    This opens the Command Prompt window.

    Then type: shutdown -a , and hit enter.

    This should halt the rebooting problem.
    -----------------------------------------------------------
    -------
    Then immediately turn-on Windows XP's built-in Firewall:
    http://www.microsoft.com/security/protect/
    (To enable the built-in firewall, go to:
    Control Panel, double-click Networking and Internet
    Connections, then click Network Connections. Right-click
    your connection, then
    Click Properties, and on the Advanced tab, click the option
    "Protect my computer and network..." Note: the built in
    firewall only monitors incoming traffic not outgoing (ie
    spyware, trojans, etc.. you may have on your system).)

    Special note if you use AOL:
    America Online installs its own connection settings that
    override
    the ones that come with Windows XP. America Online's
    connection settings don't include a way to turn on Windows
    XP's
    built-in firewall.
