System Shutdown

[Jamie]

I installed the MS Spyware beta program and all was
working fine - detecting spyware and removing it. Then
the computer went into this shut down mode and will not
stop!

This is the message that displays:

This shutdown was initiated by NT Authority/System.
Windows must now restart because the Remote Procedure
Call Service (RPC) service terminated unexpectedly.

I have no clue what this means and would really
appreciate anyones HELP!

Looks like you have the Sasser worm.

Hi,
I Also have a post above.
Anyways, I saw this same post under annocments.
I did what was advised....
I right clicked on My Computer and selected properties and it wouldn't open.
So I then wen to the control panel...admin tools....services, and found the
problem service. I right clicked and selected properties and same thing -
nothing.
So now I'm stuck.

The problem you are experiencing is either caused by a
trojan virus or some really nasty spyware. what you may
want to do is have the hard drive pulled from your
computer and scanned for viruses by another computer, or
down load a copy of the trial verison of webroot
spysweeper and run a scan on that. and make sure you shut
down microsoft anit spyware before you do the scan to
prevent the shut down.

Jamie,

Sounds to me like your computer has been infected with a
virus. Go to Microsoft's Windows Update site and install
the latest "Critical" patches and update your virus
definitions for your Anti-Virus software and scan your PC.
