Hi,

I just got broadband yesterday, when I connect I get the problem

'LSA Shell (export version)' has a problem and needs to close.

Then after 20mins or so, I get a 1 min countdown and the thing re-boots.

5 this time damnit

Thanks Dave.

That was the first thing i typed after starting up, and i had crashed just after i finished.

I dowloaded a popup blocker, spyware remover and updated my anti-virus to try and fix it but nothing

Anyway, Thanks for any help anyone may have. Dave


Its windows xp by the way.

Can't even take it to the computer shop coz the scoob's broke too

sounds like sasser worm / ms blast or mydoom.

patches for all 3 from microsoft

when i got the sasser worm, i managed to stay online long enough byt not clicking on "warning" dialogue boxes - if I did, this seemed to trigger the 1 min countdown. So unless you're downloading the patch, don't click on any button labelled "yes"

hope that helps.

otherwise get to another pc to download what you need.

Sounds like the sasser worm to me.

Take a look here. http://www.microsoft.com/security/incident/sasser.mspx

Good Luck.

click start, run shutdown -a

I think thats the command that will stop the comp shutting down.

Either that or shutdown -n

Theres a good topic in here about removal, use the Stinger tool.

Thanks, That's the help I needed.

Boro, Those are the exact messages I'm getting. I downloaded the fix from symantec and it said it didn't find the worm. Mid you, it's not crashed yet either

Thanks for the help all, Dave

Download the free McAfee stinger from here: http://vil.nai.com/vil/averttools.asp#stingerIt's small enough to fit on a floppy, so you can use another pc & then run it from the a: drive.

if you dont disable system restore itll not get rid of the worm, plus there are loads of worms about, and those screens are a definate worm or trojan horse. when i has similars screens even norton didnt pick it up but youve definately got one

It's gone now, But I'm not quite sure how.

For a while there it was looking bad, No computer and all 3 1/2 cars off the road too

Hope fully it was just a short run of bad luck, now only got afew cars to fix

I'm not sure who's advice it was that fixed it but thanks anyway,

Dave.
