Thanks for checking previous posts, Liana. (;+>}

Here's an informative page on the problem:

If you can't stay up and running long enough to read about this exploit and
download the required patches, the following may help:

- Disconnect from the internet and close all running processes.

- Start>Run> type in "services.msc" (w/out the quotes)>OK>Scroll down to
Remote Procedure Call (RPC)>Logon>First Failure>Restart the Service [cribbed
from a post of Kelly's]

- Start>Run>msconfig>Startup> uncheck 'msblast.exe' > OK your way out and
reboot. Double-check that msblast.exe remains unchecked.

- In Windows Explorer, search for "msblast.exe" (without the quotes) and
delete any instances found.
