Self Destruct Reboot

Ever get a message that pops up that starts counting down from 60 seconds saying your computer is going to restart or shutdown? This happens on Windows XP only. It also occurred during the blaster worm. There is a way to cancel this, but you only have less than 60 seconds to do it, so follow these instructions very quickly.

Press the windows key + R. Type in cmd press enter.

Type in shutdown -a press enter.

Done Problem Solved.

actually that will happen with win2k if you kill the lsass process, although im not sure if the steps to prevent it will work in 2k

Good point I guess I never thought of that as a way to stop that. Did it work with the Blaster Worm too? I imagine it would have.
