A strong suspicion of something being loaded during startup prompted me to
check the Startup List. It did show up a strange name "msblaster.exe". There
was also an accompanying "pf" file deposited under "\Windows\Prefetch\" so I
deleted them both manually. The virus probably still has a stealth payload
which caused the system to continue re-booting after sometime. My suspicion
is that the "routine" has to do with accesing the ports-- so, I installed a
Firewall and the MS Patch.It did block the ports concerned.. end of problem!

Thanks to all those who replied and offered information.
