How to stop a forced shutdown (virus shutdown)

You can abort a forced shutdown by doing just one same trick in many different ways. 1) By Making a batch .bat file, 2) By making a shortcut, 3) By using Run Box, 4) By using Command Prompt. All these are equally good ways of stoping shutdown when the shotdown box appears on the screen.

The shutdown Countdown screen/Box Looks like



1) Batch file
Open notepad and type
      shutdown -a
Without any spaces and save as BlockShutdown.bat and you are done. Whenever the Shutdown Box appears on screen, just double click the BlockShutdown.bat file and the shutdown box will be closed and the shutdown aborted.

2) By Making a shortcut
Right click on desktop. Click New and then click shortcut.
In the box "Type the location of the item:" type the following:
      shutdown -a
without any spaces.
Click next, specify the name of the shoutcut and click finish. You have created a shortcut on your desktop. Whenever the shutdown box appears, just double click the shortcut file and it will vanish, and the shortdown timer will automatically abort.

3) By using run box
Open run box and type the following command:
      shutdown -a
And when the shutdown box appears on the screen, goto the open Run box (where you have already typed the command) and hit enter or Press OK and you are done.

4) By using Command Prompt
Open Run Box and type 'cmd' without quotes and press OK.
A black screen named command prompt will open with a cursor blinking in. When the shutdown box appears that shows a countdown timer to shutdown, type the following command on the command prompt and hit enter:
      shutdown -a
The shutdown timer will disappear.

Hope this was of some help to you.
