Win 2k auto shut down

[steved2649]

Windows 2000 at startup shows the desktop, then a meesage box pops up telling the user that the computer is shutting down in 59 seconds, and counts down. The message makes reference to a NT Authorization problem. Could this be related to adware, or a virus (trojan.download) that is on the computer?
