I have completed format C. After booting I receive an error message that RCP has terminated unexpectedly and system must restart. I can work on the desktop for about 5-8 minutes then the error box appears and it restarts. How do I end this
Thanks in advance for any help

Hi Laurie,

When the shutdown warning appears, click start/run and enter "shutdown -a"
to halt the process. It's a virus called blaster or lovesan. Information:

You need the patch described here to protect against it:

MS03-039: A Buffer Overrun in RPCSS Could Allow an Attacker to Run Malicious
Programs

Problem is, you needed to install the patch BEFORE you got infected to avoid
it.
