The PRC service should not be disabled for any reason, you'll break a lot of
other services in windows itself if the rpc service is disabled. But you can
minimize it's access to the internet, and the effects on your computer but right
clicking the rpc service>properties>recovery. Change all the failure options to
restart the service and ok your way out. That will prevent it from restarting
your machine if you get hit with the blaster virus. As for preventing rpc from
opening port 135, change the task scheduler service to manual and ok your way
out. Reboot for the changes to take effect and port 135 should be closed.
