enabling rpc

[Tom]

I had trouble with rpc shutting down my computer
frequently so I disabled it,now I'm in a world of hurt.how
can I restore the rpc??

 

[David]

Go to the control panel then to services. scroll down
until you get to Remote Procedure Call (RPC) then double
click on it to open it's properties then set it to
automatic and then click the start button. This should
start the RPC service and enable it to start
automatically upon every reboot.

Did you get rid of the virus that was causing your RPC
shutdowns?

You are infected with the Blaster worm virus.



To stop the rebooting/shutdowns, right click on the task bar, choose task
manager, processes tab, look for msblast.exe. Highlight it and click end
process. Then turn on the xp firewall.

To turn on the firewall: control panel, network and internet connections,
network connections, right click your connection, properties, advanced tab,
check the protect my computer box. Do this as quickly as you can once the
desktop comes up. Then visit the sites below for the removal and patch info.
