Are they getting the windows shut down prompt? If so I would suggest
that they aren't patched against the RPC DCOM vul and are infected or
even if they aren't getting a prompt I think it's still highly possible

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,
