Remote Procudre Call Terminates

[EvilDawg]

My PC will only stay on for about 2 minutes before a
window pops up stating that the System will shoutdown
because Remote Procedure Call (RPC) has terminated
prematurely. It goes on to state that this message was
sent from NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM.

Please Help! It wont let me stayt on long enough to get
any updates. This is a fresh install of WinXP Pro.

If you connected the PC to the Internet without having first
installed the KB824146 Hotfix, without having first installed an
antivirus application with current virus definition files, and before
enabling a firewall, you're very likely to get infected from any of
the thousands of PCs on the Internet that are constantly broadcasting
the Blaster and/or Welchia worms. It only takes a few seconds of
exposure.

To stay on-line long enough to get the necessary updates, patches,
and removal tools, click Start > Run, and enter "shutdown -a" when the
next RPC countdown begins. This will abort the shut down. Also, make
sure you've enabled a firewall before starting, to preclude any more
intrusions while getting the updates/patches/tools.
