System shut down after installation when getting online

[Joerg]

I installed XP. After the installation I went online to
download all needed updates for XP.
Doing so a window pops up telling me: "The system is
shutting down. Please safe all work in progress and log
off. Any unsaved changes will be lost. This shutdown was
initiated by NT AUTHORITY SYSTEM. Time before shut down:
60 seconds. Message: Windows must now restart because the
Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service terminated
unexpectedly".

I think I need to update but cannot.

Please send some help

thanks

There are thousands of nasty viruses/worms looking for unprotected
computers. Your computer can be infected within a few milliseconds
the moment an internet connection is established.

Apparently, your computer is infected with the W32.Blaster.Worm or one of its variants.
This happened because you have not been using an internet connection firewall and have
apparently neglected to install the critical updates available at the Windows Update website.

If your computer is constantly attempting to shutdown
or reboot, quickly go to:

Start > Run and type: CMD , and hit enter.
This opens the Command Prompt window.

Then type: shutdown -a , and hit enter.

This should halt the rebooting problem.

Then immediately turn-on Windows XP's built-in Firewall:

A tool is available to remove Blaster worm and Nachi worm infections from computers
that are running Windows 2000 or Windows XP
