RPC Service terminated unexpectantly !!

[Denise]

My computer keeps shutting down. This has been going on
for 3 days.

The box say's " RPC Service terminated unexpectantly.
This shutdown was
initiated by NT AUTHORITY/SYSTEMS."

I tried the help phone line and keep getting a busy
signal and I cannot stay on-line long enough to get help.


HELP !!!!

Here's a HowTo: http://www.bigblackglasses.com/Article.aspx?Article=342

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.

Hi Bear - With your permission, I'm borrowing a little this to go with Ron's
stuff.

Sure. I posted it "elsewhere", too.

Kelly's got a page up on it now:
