Error and reboot every 2mins with XP pro, please help

[Maik-l]

I cant use my computer anymore, grrr.
I get a error event regarding Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
has unexpected terminated, then the computer reboots with
a 60s countdown..I tried to shutdown the countdown but it
still reboots. No further info is available as usual at MS
help files (why do they even bother).

To stop the reboots: Go to Start/Run and type in: services.msc. Scroll down
to Remote Procedure Call (RPC)/Logon/First Failure/Restart the Service.

Then close Windows Explorer, End Process in the Task Manager for
msblast.exe, run the edit on line 257 then run the patch listed below it:

Right I have posted all the info on my website, and the link to Symantec's
removal tool. It seems like a worm is responsible for this RPC
vulnerability.

There you will find the type of RPC error that has been going around very
rapidly at the moment, and the link to Symantec which has the removal tool,
and also there are links to fix up the RPC to prevent this happening again.

Hope this helps;
