the following steps will remove it:
-reboot
-go to task manager, turn off any and all of the following: avserve(2), skynet(ave), userinit, -lsasss, (randomnumber)_up
-enable the xp firewall on your computer
-if after this point you still get a shutdown notice, go to start > run > type 'shutdown -a'
-go to microsoft.com/downloads, download and install the patch (kb835732)
-go to microsoft.com/security, run the removal tool
do your windows updates and get a firewall/antivirus.
