Here is the article that I read about it:
A few times a message has appeared on my screen suddenly telling me that NT AUTHORITY/SYSTEM was going to shut down my PC. All you can do is save your work and basically take it like a man unforunately and let your computer reboot.
This is a security flaw in Microsoft Windows, mainly NT/XP/Server.
If you see this message you should install Windows updates as soon as possible. There is basically someone out there sending data to your PC causing this to happen.
Advisory Warning to all users of the following operating systems:
Microsoft Windows NT 4.0
Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Terminal Services Edition
Microsoft Windows 2000
Microsoft Windows XP
Microsoft Windows Server 2003
Your Microsoft Operating System may potentially be under attack by HACKER ACTIVITY. The vulnerability attack can fool software into accepting insecure commands that could let intruders steal data, delete files or eavesdrop on e-mails.
Due to the seriousness of this vulnerability the Department of Homeland Security and Microsoft encourages system administrators and computer owners to update vulnerable versions of Microsoft Windows operating systems as soon as possible.
Our recommendation is to please go to:
http://microsoft.com/technet/treevi...in/MS03-026.asp to install the patch immediately.

i got that patch. didnt help.
-
Do you get that message about the NT Authority?
-
I got that message about NT authority as well - thats what it said (in my haste i couldn't remember what he bloody window pop up said) .... I hate to see others going thru this but at least i know now i'm not alone. I'll try that stuff Abobo - thanks man, lets hope it works - i'm too will HATE to reformat.
Edit - i tried the tool fix that Lhadhatt gave me and the process interuppts all the time in the middle of its procudures - and I tried examining my system process but the fucking virus/worm interuppts that too and cuts it off with no warning - g'damn.
-
Well as I said, my brother had the same problem today. He called me up at work, I found the patch and he installed it and everything seems to be working fine.
-
Abobo - couple questions -
1.) will the patch work on already infected systems?
2.) didn't the worm interfere with the patching process?
-
My gf has it all of a sudden, too.
I mean, it seems like a pretty widespread thing
-
this sucks
dragonmaster - did you disable system restore before you implemented the patch? that might work
-
/me doesn't have it but hits up WindowsUpdate anyway
