Hi, can anyone help?

Everytime I log on to the internet, after about a minute,
a message box comes up, saying something like this...

The system is shutting down. This is initiated by NT
AUTHORITY/SYSTEM.

Windows must now shut down. The Remote Procedure Call
(RPC) terminated unexpectedly.

.....then it counts down before restarting the computer.
 
Hi lorena,

Sounds like you've been bitten by the MSBlaster worm or the Welchia worm.

Have a look here for information about the Blaster worm and its variants:

And here is information about the Welchia worm:

You need to d/load and install Security patch KB824146, available here:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=824146#WinXP

Also, d/load and run the Blaster and Welchia worm removal tool:
