[Jill]

For the last couple of days I am getting an message
saying Generic Win32 isn't working probably and the
send/don't send report window. Afterwards I get a system
shutdown message due to the RPC terminately
unexpectedly..Can anyone help me?

Update your anti-virus definitions immediately and follow-up with a full
system scan. Then visit Windows Update and install recommended security
patches (at least).

I dunno.. try administrative tools, services, remote procedure call,
change drops to take no action. or maybe it is a real security
concern..?

How do we download updates etc. if the system keeps disconnecting? It
doesn't give us time to do this.

Christine (any help would be appreciated)

To stop the reboots: Go to Start/Run and type in: services.msc. Scroll down
to Remote Procedure Call (RPC)/Logon/First Failure/Restart the Service.

Then close Windows Explorer, End Process in the Task Manager for
msblast.exe, run the edit on line 257 then run the patch listed below it:
