RPC - computer shuts down every 5-10 min

[Marie-Claire]

my computer shuts down every 5 to 10 minutes. I don't
know, what it is. I read some of the other messages in
here, and they say the same. I'm wondering what this is.
A little window opens on the screen, and it says 'Generic
Host Process for WIN32 has found a problem and has to be
closed. This is caused by NT-Authority/Systems.'
Please help me... I don't know what to do!

happening after i turn on my firewall.

Marie-Claire;
You most likely have a worm W32.Blaster.Worm
DISCONNECT the subject computer from any network IMMEDIATELY.

Install or enable a firewall IMMEDIATELY:

VERY IMPORTANT to repair, closing ports is NOT enough.
Download the appropriate patch referenced in Ron Martessl article
below.
You may need to do this at an uninfected computer and burn to CD or
save on floppy.

This is the IMPORTANT fix by Ron Martell:

After this is resolved prevent similar occurrences by installing ALL
Critical Updates from Windows Update.
Keep antivirus up to date and run at least weekly.
Install or enable a firewall.
