NT AUTHORITY/SYSTEM Remote Procedure Call

[Dave]

Running XP Pro. After a few minutes on the web, I get a
message that NT AUTHORITY/ SYSTEM Remote Procedure Call
service terminated unexpectedly. I have been trying to
get Windows Update packs but keep getting cut-off.

Thanks for your help.

* Turn on your firewall
* Go to windows update (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com) and install all
critical updates. You don't have to download the other updates if you don't
want to, but "Critical" means what it says.
* Update your virus scanner and do a full scan of your system
* Consider turning on automatic windows updates, or get into the habit of
visiting windows update on a regular basis.

Dave --

Apparently, your computer has an unwelcome visitor (VIRUS) known
as the WM32 Blaster/Lovsan WORM.

It entered the computer through your internet connection because the "firewall"
was not properly enabled and essential critical updates were not installed from
the Windows Update website. For instructions on fixing the problem, visit:

If your computer is constantly attempting to shutdown
or reboot, quickly go to:

Start > Run and type: CMD , and hit enter.
This opens the Command Prompt window.

Then type: shutdown -a , and hit enter.

This should halt the rebooting problem.

Then immediately turn-on Windows XP's built-in Firewall:
