system shutdown / RPC

I have just reinstalled XP Pro on my Pentium 4 2.4Ghz machine, and get an
error which shuts the machine down in i minute, It reads "Windows must
restart because the remote procedure call / RPC service terminated
unexpectedly". It also mentions something about NT AUTHORITY/SYSTEM.

Does anyone know what this means and how to fix it

Many many posts cover that worm - with tips and links to a fix. Search
the group for "rpc" or "remote". And visit http://google.com to search
for "blaster". Kelly's site, below, also has information.

Rob;
You most likely have Blaster.
Follow this link to get rid of Blaster:

Go to system services. Find the Remote Procedure Call and stop it. Then change automatic to manual. This should do the trick!

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:

See www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_qr.htm#rpc
<http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_qr.htm> for a quick removal tool for the
MSBlast worm and a link to the Microsoft patch to prevent future infection.
Then update your antivirus software and scan your system.

And leave a worm on the computer?
That is not a good idea!
