ERROR: Remote Procedure Call

[Bob]

Everytime I am connected to the internet I receive the
following error message: "System shutdown initiated by NT
AUTHORITY SYSTEM. Remote Procedure Call service
terminated unexpectedly."

I am then given about 1 minute to close all programs and
save all work before the computer reboots itself. I am
running Windows XP Professional and connecting to the
internet using MSN Explorer. I sure could use some help.
Thanks.

Search this group for "rpc" or "remote". You will see hundreds of recent
posts that either describe the fix for this worm, or supply links to
eradicate it.
