Help!

[Michael]

Hey, dunno if you can help me or not.
I just recently re-installed Windows XP onto my computer
so as to wipe it free of viruses and adware.
Everything's cool except every so often a message will
appear that says:
The Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Service unexpectedly
terminated.
Something to do with NT/Authority System.
It counts down from 60 seconds and then restarts my
computer. It happens at random and I can't stop it. I've
never seen anything like this before and I"ve re-
installed before. Can you help?
-Mike

Oh Michael...you're not going to want to hear this...after you spent all
that time and effort wiping your hard drive free of viruses and reinstalling
everything: You've got a virus. The RPC Blaster virus, to be specific. You
can read all about it, and what to do, here:

The Internet is filled with friendly people but it is not a
friendly environment. If you don't actively protect your
computer you will NEVER have a stable operating system.
