remote procedure call termination

[d]

What does this mean? My computer boots up, and then this
message pops up, tells me to log off, and then it does it
all over again. What do I need to do? Do I have big
problems?

thanks

Probably the Blaster Worm. Have a look here:

Hi!d!
Remote Procedure Call (RPC) is a protocol that is used by the Windows
operating system. RPC provides an inter-process communication mechanism
that allows a program that is running on one computer to seamlessly run
code on a remote computer. The protocol itself is derived from the Open
Software Foundation (OSF) RPC protocol. The RPC protocol that is used by
Windows includes some additional Microsoft-specific extensions.
The worm, W32.Blaster.Worm and its variants, exploits a security issue here.

You have the Blaster worm!!

First, stop the bug from running by hitting CTRL-ALT-DELETE and
bringing up the task manager. Look for msblast.exe in the list, and
kill it. Now your computer won't shut down, but the bug is still there
and will run the next time you start your machine. Go to this URL to
find out how to get rid of it:

Just a minor correction. You don't get the RPC error because msblast.exe is
running, you get it because other systems that are trying to infect yours
are sending "buggy" code which the RPC server chokes on rather than carry
out the full exploit like it should.
