track the process that's calling shutdown.exe
jraju:
Please check the processor heat sink and remove the dust. This may be due to overheating. Pl remove all the plugs before doing any physical repair.
Do you mean power off or complete shut down. If the power is off, then enter key would resume your normal screen you were last on.
If you meant, shutting auto, then it is virus doing and Boggins suggestion would do the remedy for you.
HI, Boggins, what are all those colours denote in Process explorer and not in the virus total. some shown as red , some shown as pink etc. How to identify the process that gives the problem from PExplorer. This i want to know . Thanks
Boggin:
That was a good question, JR.
I've only ever concerned myself with ensuring the Virus Total entries were all blue - once had an Adobe entry showing in red with a score of 2/50 but that doesn't pop up now.
Your question about the colours prompted me to a Google and came up with this useful article http://www.howtogeek.com/school/sysinternals-pro/lesson2/ which I hope will help.
jraju:
Hi, Thank you boggins for this specific link. It has all the things that i want to know. Your virus total information is really new to me. from the link, i could gather that by clicking the virus total findings, details of the scan and details of virus will be known. Good to have this installed for modern computer attacks.

i got nothing with process explorer but can clearly see shutdown.exe (which is really renamed notepad.exe) called many times in the log. Can someone please take a look at the log file on google drive

I don't have anything on my computer to open a .pml file.
