XP Pro Shuts Ddown

[Joe]

I just installed XP Pro on my computer AMD500 (I know)
384mb ram, 160Ggb hd and it seems to work fine except for
when I go onto the net after a few minutes I get the
error message of "This systems is shutting down. Please
save all work in progress and log off. Any unsaved
changes will be lost. This shutdown was initiated by NT
AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" Message "Windows must now restart
because the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service
terminated unexpectedly". Any suggestions on what i can
do?

TIA for the help

Joe

Hello,

Didn't the Blaster Worm post this message when it
infected a computer? Can someone else chime in on this.

Your absolutly right that ia the blaster worm. go to
www.symantec.com and download the repair tool for the
blaster then download the patch from microsoft the link is
on the symantec website. Apply the patch first or it will
just come back. then run the removal tool.
