Programs Continuosuly and Regularly Locking Up and causing crashes

[Guest]

I recently reformatted my hard drive because of one too many viruses. it was causing every program I ran to lock up and stop functioning. These viruses were blaster, sasser, randex, welchia, korgo. I used norton antivirus to clean them out and internet security to keep them out. Since reinstalling windows, I'm having the same problem with my programs locking up. I have a feeling, and it's told me on a few occasions, that it is a problem with the RPC (remote procedure call). Any ideas how I can fix this guys? It's a real problem since I need my computer for work. Thanks for the advice

Try to perform an online scan at any of these sites:
Trend Micro HouseCall:

Panda Active Scan:

RAV AntiVirus Online Virus Scan
http://www.ravantivirus.com/scan/

BitDefender Free Online Virus Scan

Also perform a scan looking for spyware using ad-aware and spybot.

Do you have your firewall enabled? Either XP's own or a third-party
one, like Zone Alarm, free at www.zonealarm.com

I can't use these things online because IE continuously locks up. It is no longer a virus problem and is more than likely a corrupted RPC problem. ANy help with that?

Hi Chris, I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for

How to install and use the Recovery Console

Start the RPC Service
1. Click Start, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click
Computer Management.

2. Double-click Services and Applications, click Services, and then double-click
Remote Procedure Call (RPC).
3. In the Startup type dialog box, click Automatic, click OK, and then restart
your computer.
NOTE: If the RPC Service is disabled, you may need to use the Recovery Console.

In Recovery Console, run Enable RPCSS Service_Auto_Start, and then restart your
computer.
