I purchased a new desktop P.C. that is preloaded with
Windows XP. After booting up I get the following message:
"System Shutdown initiated by NT Authority/System"
followed by: "Remote Procedure Call terminated". A minute
late Windows "logs off" and the system shuts down.
What is my problem?


Can anyone help me here? I would appreciate a response.

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:
