I get this message in IE-6 when online:
The system is shutting down. Please save all work in
progress. This system was initiated by NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM.
Windows must now restart because the Remote Procedure Call
(RPC) services terminated unexpectedly.
How do I get it fixed????
You have not kept your machine up to date with the critical patches from
Windows Update, and have therefore gotten the Blaster worm.
Your system is infected by the MSBlaster Worm. This is causing the system to
shutdown abnormally.
From Ron Martel
Do steps 1 and 2 on your working computer.
1. Get the Blaster removal script from MVP Kelly Theriot's web site:
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/regs_edits/msblast.vbs
2. Get the Microsoft patch from
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;823980#WinXP
Copy the downloaded files to a 3.5 inch diskette (they will both fit
on the same 1.44 mb diskette) or burn them to a CD
3. Disconnect the infected computer from the Internet. Unplug
Cable/DSL modem if you have one. That prevents reinfection during the
time interval between running the script and the completion of the
patch installation.
4. Run the script.
5. Install the patch.
6. Activate the Internet Connection Firewall in Windows XP
7. Reconnect to the Internet. Update your antivirus software and do
a complete scan.
8. Go to the Windows Update and get all repeat all of the critical
updates for your computer.
Good luck
