guys: i am running a windows xp home laptop and for some
reason, for the last week, i have been getting the
following message followed by the machine shutting down.
i haven't installed any new programs or anything, virus
protection up to date and no viruses found etc.

the message is:
"the system is shutting down. please save all work in
progress and log off. any unsaved changes will be lost.
the shutdown was initiated by the nt authority/system.

message. windows must now restart because the remote
procedure call (rpc) service terminated unexpectedly."

have you guys seen this before and what could be causing
this?

thanks.

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:
