Subject: attacks shutting down windows machines?

Hi there -

We are currently receiving a considerable volume of customer reports where
windows
machines (XP usually, as its residential customers) are seemingly shut down
remotely. Nothing evil seems to happen, just a regular system shutdown.

Anyone else seen this? Is someone using the latest exploit to have some
harmless fun?

best regards / mit freundlichen Gruessen,
