Unexpected shutdown

[Lindsay]

After being on the internet, I get an error to effect of the RPC locater
closed unexpectedly and windows will shutdown. I have reason to believe this
is to do with msblast. My pc does NOT have ANY viruses. It has done in the
past, but these have been deleted. Could have some damage been done to
windows? Is there another explanation? It is getting very tiresome and I
cannot find the cause.

Do you have a firewall enabled?
Do you have all the MS Critical Updates?
Here is the msblast removal tool, anyway...

Yes I do use a firewall. Which Ms update do I need? I don't want to install
all of them. Thanks for the removal tool, but I don't have the virus.

See the details into your EventViewer application to find
out what's causing this.

If the RPC service is what is causing your computer to
reboot it is the ms.blast worm. If it is not the RPC
service see if you computer reboots without being
connected to the internet.

WARNING: Bug in patch Q811493 and rollup KB826939

Hi Microsoft Guys, it does not help at all, to rename a
bugy Patch (Q811493) or to include this bugy patch in to
a rollup with different name (Rollup KB826939).

Attention all XP-Pro Users!!

After installation of the Patch Q811493 or the Rollup
KB826939, you may experience the following errors: -
the computer can be started only in save modus
- the JAVA support not more available
- XP desktop design not available
- System crashes similar to the blaster crashes.

The kind of error depends on, how the patch (rollup) has
been installed. If as a bulk with other patches, you are
in real trouble and new XP Installation may be required,
otherwise just deinstall the buggy patch and your system
is OK.
