Might be a Trojan or malware. Go to Start/Run, and type in "shutdown -a" (without the quotes) then hit enter and this should disable the timer.

Then back to Start > Run > type "services.msc" without quotes. Then select "DCOM Server Process Launcher" and Right Click > Properties. Then Change Startup Type to "Disabled." Click on Recovery Tab and then Change all failures to "Take No Action"

This should take care of your symptoms.

What you want to do now is find the cause.
