Please can someone help me with this one. My computer
shuts itself down and restarts every couple of minutes
with the message

The system is shutting down please close.....
This shut down was initiated by NT AUTHORITY / system
Windows must now restart because the remote procedure
call terminated unexpectidly.

I just fixed a computer that had the same problem caused by the Weather
Channels Desktop Program. Remove it if you have it.

This is caused by a new and rapidly spreading virus.

To clear up the "NT Authority\System" and RPC call errors:

1. Go to http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=823980 and download the
security patch. If at all possible do this on a clean machine and
copy the patch to a 3.5 inch diskette.

2. Boot the infected machine into Safe Mode. Insert the 3.5 inch
diskette with the patch on it and run it. Do not reboot yet.

3. Use Start - Run - MSCONFIG and go to the Startup tab. Locate the
entry for MSBLAST.EXE and clear the checkbox for it.

4. Use Start - Search and check all your hard drives for the file
MSBLAST.EXE and delete all copies of it.

5. Shut down and restart the computer normally.

6. Immediately do an update of your antivirus software and when the
updates are installed do a complete virus scan of your hard drive. So
far Symantec/Norton, Trend Micro (PC-Cillin) and Sophos seems to be
the only major companies with an update for this specific virus (4:30
p.m. PDT 11 Aug 2003) but the others will undoubtedly follow within 24
hours.

Good luck
