Computer shuts down on start-up, possible virus?

My C drive is around 80gb and, this morning, I was using around 45gb (there was about
35gb free). I left my PC running when I went to work. When I got home, there was
a balloon in the lower right corner which read:
You are running very low on disk space on C. To free space on this drive by deleting
old or unnecessary files, click here.
I thought this was odd so checked My Computer and it told me I had 3mb space left.
I really didn't understand this, so decided to restart, hoping this would sort it.
When my computer restarted, a few error windows popped up, informing me that various
applications could not start as the system was shutting down.
Then, a window with a black background appears, with:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>shutdown -s -s -2
appears. The message repeats itself over and over at a rapid speed. The scroll bar
in this window reduces in size massively in just one second.
Then, my system shuts down, completely by itself. I can't keep the thing on for long
enough to even begin trying to find out what's wrong with it. I don't know what's
causing this at all. But it's very irritating.
I've tried browsing to see if anyone has a similar problem but can't find anything.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
