Have you tried the spyware and antivirus scanning suggestions? Are you using a firewall?

Just found that my wife's PC seems to be infected as you describe....reboots in 60 seconds etc,references to Lsass.exe. Unfortunately tried the 'shutdown -a' command but it didn't work, and machine still shut down in the middle of running an on-line virus-check. Does this sound like a new Sasser variant....if so any more clues?

What happens when you try "shutdown -a"? Any messages?

When i open task manager, the list of processes does not not show. it is just a grey blank and i cannot check what processes are running. do you have any ideas?

Hadn't heard that one before, it's new to me. Only suggestion I have is to try downloading sysinternals process explorer http://ask-leo.com/d-31017a and see if it will report the task list.
