Error msg

[Kormath]

I get this error message when i'm online.

This system is shutting down. Please save all your work
in progress & log off. any unsaved changes will be
lost. This shutdown was initiated by NT
authority/system. Windows must now restart because the
remote procedure call (RPC) service terminated
unexpectedly.

It doesn't give me time to do anything, the computer just
shuts down. What can i do to correct this? Is it a
virus or something in the windows settings I need to
adjust?

Thanks for the help

As far as I know, this is to do with the Blaster worm (sorry) !

Heres a link to a Microsoft page, (scroll down a quarter page, thiere is a
screenshot of the error report);

First, stop the bug from running by hitting CTRL-ALT-DELETE and
bringing up the task manager. Look for msblast.exe in the list, and
kill it. Now your computer won't shut down, but the bug is still there
and will run the next time you start your machine. Go to this URL to
find out how to get rid of it:

See www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_qr.htm#rpc
<http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_qr.htm> for a quick removal tool for the
MSBlast worm and a link to the Microsoft patch to prevent future infection.
Then update your antivirus software and scan your system.
