Looks like a virus to me. Windows doesn't have error dialogs riddled with grammar errors and ambiguity. It also doesn't shut the system down just because it can't access a drive. You don't have to download a file from the internet to get infected with a virus. Viruses can use exploits in applications (like IE) to propagate their way to your computer, or spread across an unprotected network from another computer.
so then what can i do about it then ?
Are you running Windows 2000 or XP? It may be the Blaster Worm. This will be a good read. [url]http://www.techsupportforum.com/microsoft-support/windows-xp-support/6569-strange-windows-xp-error.html[/url]
