SYSTEM SHUTDOWN

[AUGUSTO RAMIREZ]

Hello to all,

I'm having a problem with my internet explorer. Everytime
I access the internet, I can only stay online for about 5
minutes. Then, a pop up message comes up saying that the
system will shut down by NT Authority/System; RPC service
terminated unexpectedly. Can someone provide me with some
help? I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

Augusto

Here's a HowTo: http://www.bigblackglasses.com/Article.aspx?Article=342

If you can't stay up and running long enough to read about this exploit and
download the required patches, the following may help:

- Disconnect from the internet and close all running processes.

- Start>Run> type in "services.msc" (w/out the quotes)>OK>Scroll down to
Remote Procedure Call (RPC)>Logon>First Failure>Restart the Service [cribbed
from a post of Kelly's]

- Start>Run>msconfig>Startup> uncheck 'msblast.exe' > OK your way out and
reboot. Double-check that msblast.exe remains unchecked.

- In Windows Explorer, search for "msblast.exe" (without the quotes) and
delete any instances found.
