click "do a system scan and save a logfile" , attach the log or copy and paste it
if your not using the internet from that pc with "safe mode with networking" then you can copy hijackthis & save the log after scanning to a usb flash drive/ipod/digital camera/floppy , as for the shutdown issue a firewall will probably solve that,enable windows built-in firewall see this article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/283673 (i guess you havnt updated windows for quite a while..better get all of the security updates) after enabling the windows firewall & installing all of the windows updates,disable windows firewall and install comodo instead its the best firewall there is (windows firewall is very basic and weak so better use a real firewall)

Use safe mode ->system restore to a few weeks ago.
