Would not running the command shutdown -A not stop the countdown?
Yes.
Allowing him to install the patches or figure out what is going on? And remove any malicious programs
No. Blaster, Sasser and their like come with backdoors. How will the user make sure that noone/nothing had used this backdoor to install other malware? Once a box gets compromised the only responsible solution is rebuilding it. Of course one would not want to use any binary (like hotfixes) from an infected box, until the binary's integrity has been proved thru a checksum, MD5 hash or something like that. Leaving you where you started. Regards Ansgar Wiechers -- "Those who would give up liberty for a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety, and will lose both." --Benjamin Franklin
