RPC shutdown

[Nancy]

I only have about five minutes before I shut down each
time I get on the net. I recently downloaded XP Home
Edition and ever since, the computer shuts off once I'm on
the net. The message is "initiated by NT Authority System
Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service terminated
unexpectedly" Any feedback on how to correct this would
be deeply appreciated. Thanks

Search this group for "rpc" or "remote", for dozens of posts that link to
the fix for this worm.
Or search http://google.com for "blaster", which will link to dozens of
anti-virus sites.

Apparently, your computer has an unwelcome visitor (VIRUS) known
as the WM32 Blaster/Lovsan WORM. It only takes a split second for
this WORM to infect your computer if a firewall is not enabled and you
have an active internet connection.

It entered the computer through the 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:
