I remember there was a virus around a while ago , which caused the PC to "shutdown in a minute". I remember the solution was to type something in the "Run" box, that caused it to stop. What is the text needed to fix that? Thanks.

You need to be much more specific. What was the virus? Are you running an anti-virus program?

Thanks again, Jabuck. If I am not mistaken, it was the "SoBig" Virus.
