How can I change the NT Authority System?

I have a computer that continues to restart.  It comes up to the desktop screen and then a popup comes up and says it will shut down in 35 seconds due to a NT error.  Im not sure why it appeared or if it is a virus.

What OS is this? If XP, what Service Pack?
Does this happen even if you unplug the network cable?

I guess this is Sasser virus, It terminates the RPC Services associated with svchost.exe in the taskmanager.

Download Hijackthis
http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/_download/HJTInstall.exe

After downloading is,
Install --
Run and click  "Do a system scan and save a logfile"..
Don't fix anything just attach the logfile here and we'll look into it.

This is windows xp sp2.  We have been able to keep the computer from shutting down and restarting by changing the time on the computer clock.  Which then changes the timer on the shutdown clock.  This clock usually pops up about 30 seconds after start up and then gives you another minute before shutdown.  i have tried to click start, run etc and it wont do anything.  I dont have time to get the hijack this program.  So that is where I am at.  Thanks.

Here is the Hijack file.  I was able to use Shutdown-A to keep it from shutting down all the time.  I was thinking about making a batch file at startup but if I can find a fix that would be great.
