Remote Procedure Call Error

A

Ausinr Smith

I am continually receiving an error that comes up that my
computer is about to shut down, and that NT
AUTHORITY\SYSTEM initiated it. It says the cause for this
is because the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service
terminated unexpectedly. I'm not sure what could be
causing this, but it seems to be when I'm connected to
the internet (Dial-Up). I see that in the properties of
my connection, under Networking, I can change the address
of the RPC, but I'm not sure if that's it or not. Think
someone can help me out?

Greetings --

If you connected the PC to the Internet without having first
installed the KB824146 Hotfix, without having first installed an
antivirus application with current virus definition files, and before
enabling a firewall, you're very likely to get infected from any of
the thousands of PCs on the Internet that are constantly broadcasting
the Blaster and/or Welchia worms. It only takes a few seconds of
exposure.

To stay on-line long enough to get the necessary updates, patches,
and removal tools, click Start > Run, and enter "shutdown -a" when the
next RPC countdown begins. This will abort the shut down. Also, make
sure you've enabled a firewall before starting, to preclude any more
intrusions while getting the updates/patches/tools.
