Can' t Download Anything NT AUTHORITY Shutsdown

I keep reading that people that get the "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM Time Before Shutdown 00:60" message should download this or that patch, but my computer won't stay on long enough to even finish starting up.

So now what am supposed to do? I need help.

Download patch

To a floppy or USB drive. Obviously, use another computer. It is possible that you can pull it off by using your firewall but I'd not count on it. At restart, install the patch.

What you are seeing is analogous to what was happening when the Blaster (aka Penis32) got into the wild.

EDIT to add- You will need to get your AV running after patching and make sure that nothing nasty is now living on your pc. You might also want to download Crap Cleaner and run it recursively until it cannot find anything else.

Good luck!

Simple, You don't need another computer

Just open a command prompt and enter the command shutdown -a . This will abort the shutdown. Then update as necessary, use AV and anti-malware tools to clean up your computer.
Hope this helps,

Patch your PC

How are you just getting this now?
Do you not patch your PC (patch has been available for ages)?

Safest way is to download to a USB and then install while off the net.
