Thats what happened to me. I didn't have a firewall and had just set up my internet on my new Windows XP, and i got infected. I installed Kaspersky a day after i got connected, which was kind of stupid, but i didn't expect to be infected that quickly just from being on the internet.

Yeah, it did. It came up with an error window saying the computer will restart in 60 seconds, then it counted down. Damn annoying it was.
