I am receiving the following error message: This system is
shutting down. Please save all work in progress and log
off. Any unsaved changes will be lost. This shutdown was
initiated by NT Authority/System. Windows must now
restart because the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service
terminated unexpectedely.

I then get a 60 sec countdown and my computer restarts. Im
on XP Pro. This is happening when I connect to the
internet. I can initially log in for about 5 or so mins.
then this error message comes up.

What is going on? What do I need to do to fix?
 
You have the BLASTER worm. Open your task items and stop the file bast.exe
(or something like that). Then get to the internet and find the removal tool
(NORTON's site works well), then upgrade your VIRUS protection quick.

You have the Blaster worm!!

First, stop the bug from running by hitting CTRL-ALT-DELETE and
bringing up the task manager. Look for msblast.exe in the list, and
kill it. Now your computer won't shut down, but the bug is still there
and will run the next time you start your machine. Go to this URL to
find out how to get rid of it:
