Remote Procedure Call

[Cory Tymchuk]

Greetings!

I reinstalled Windows XP last night because over time we
had deleted a few(fairly insignificant) files I wanted to
keep, and since last night, the computer keeps re-booting
with a warning that it is going to do so saying that the
Remote Service Terminated unexpectedly and windows will
have to shut down and that I will lose any unsaved
information. We had no such problem prior to the
reinstall. I would like to reinstall again, but am
afraid that it will terminate unexpectedly during the
reinstallation and I will lose all my data. Any advice?
Thanks for any input.

Greetings, you dont need to reinstall to fix the problem. You need to
enable a firewall and update Windows XP.

You have got a virus, removal info at...
