System shuts down

[Don]

When connecting to the internet, after about 15 min. I
get a box that says "Remote Procedure Call service
terminated unexpectedly" and then the system shuts down
and re-boots. Do I have a problem with my ISP or do I
need to change a setting? This is a new install and setup.
Thank You,
Don

Hi Don,

To stop the reboots: Go to Start/Run and type in: services.msc. Scroll down
to Remote Procedure Call (RPC)/Recovery/First Failure/Restart the Service.

Close Windows Explorer, run the edit on line 257 which includes the prompt
for the patch once your system has been cleaned.

This script removes all variants of the W32.Blaster.Worm (original, B, C, D,
E and F) and will inform you whether or not the patch is already installed.

Don:

I saw the same problem come up on a friend's computer.
The message you read probably refers to "NT Authority"
also. If so, you most likely have the "MSBlast" virus.
Right click on your taskbar, go to task manager and check
the list of running applications. You'll probably
find "MSBlast.exe" on that list.

Go to the Symantec web page
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32
blaster.worm.html and downloand their program to delete
the virus. Do not run it yet. Then go to
http://www.microsoft.com/security/incident/blast.asp.
Save these downloads to your hard drive. Get off line.
Clean your computer with the Symantec program, then
install the Microdoft patch and reboot. Yout troubles
should be over. And may the bastards that write these
viruses roast in hell.
