I recently reinstalled windows XP, while installing my
programs again, This window came up showing something
about a Remote Procedure Call error... not knowing what
it was, I searched online for it. I found a fix for it.
So i downloaded the fix and it searched for the worm.
And apperently it is not on my computer. So I install
the updates for XP and the one that should help fix this
problem won't run.

What should I do?
thank you anyone for your help.

This is a symptom of an attack by the MSBlast virus.

Disconnect from the internet and enable XP's built in firewall (See Help and Support for Firewall). Then see www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_qr.htm#rpc for a removal utility for MSBlast and a link to download the patch from MS for this issue.
