NT Authority/SYSTEM & RPC

[Victor]

I get from time to time a Warning message saying:
Something like that the NT Authority/SYSTEM has to close
Windows because something is not working with a Remote
Process Call (RPC). Can anyone give me any clue about how
to solve it.

Thanks in advance.

You most likely have the blaster worm.
When the shutdown countdown starts go to: Start> run> type 'shutdown -a'
without the quotes. Hit okay. Do it again should the countdown start again
during the process.
Then go Start> contol panel> network connections> select your internet
connection and right click it. Select properties. Click the advanced tab and
tick the 'protect this...' box. Hit okay until the boxes disappear.
Now go to
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.blaster.worm.removal.tool.html
and read the page. Download the fixblast.exe (link about half way down that
page). Run it.
When your machine is clean, go to windowsupdate.com and download all the
recommended fixes.
