I can't find anything on Microsoft's web site on
this "remote procedural call" business that goes on with
windows xp. If you stay around long enough this will not
surprise you.) Does anyone know what's going on with this
and how I can disable it?
 
You most likely have a worm W32.Blaster.Worm
DISCONNECT the subject computer from any network IMMEDIATELY.

If necessary to stop the reboot process:
Start/Run
Type "shutdown -a" ENTER

Install or enable a firewall IMMEDIATELY, before connecting to the
internet:

VERY IMPORTANT to follow ALL steps, closing ports or installing the
patch is NOT enough.
Download the patch and updates referenced below.
You may need to do this at an uninfected computer and burn to CD.

Follow this to remove the Blsaster files:

Greetings --

If you connected the PC to the Internet before installing the
KB823980 Hotfix, before installing an antivirus application with
current virus definition files, and before enabling a firewall,
you're very likely to be infected now.
