RPC termination

[Kenny]

When I'm connected to the net I can only be so
for 2 minutes or so and then there comes a message:

"Windows has to shut down due to an unexpected
termination of the remote procedure call"

(or something like that) and there's a countdown which
starts from 1 minute, after that XP reboots.
What am I gonna do? Please mail me
I'd be greatful for any suggestions.

So what rock did you just crawl out from under. This is a
known virus problem and if you were not so GD lazy to do a
little search in this NG you would have found your
answer. So until you research this yourself a bit you are
getting what you deserve.
