rpc shutdown nt authority sys

[Zac Myers]

I have been getting shut down all day here in Nashville.
I get the message "initiated by NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM", then
the timer comes on for shut down and re-boot,and the
message "RPC Service terminated unexpectly". Then is
shuts down after 60 seconds, re-boots and goes through the
same thing within a couple minutes.

I can't get through to Microsoft tech support, and have no
idea where this came from or what to do.

Any advice out there?

Thank you.
Zac Myers

yep, it's the expected worm exposing port 135 vulnerability.
