rpc error

[tony]

Hello all

I am a computer novice.I have a problem with my pc at the
moment everytime I log onto the internet I get a remote
procedure error and this causes my pc to reboot. I have no
idea if this is a software problem a virus or god knows
what. If anyone could give me some help in fixing this
problem it would be greatly appreciated I am in an
internet cafe at the moment so a prompt reply would be
great.

Thanks

Hi Tony,

It's a new virus called blaster. Information:

http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_100499.htm
http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.blaster.worm.html

You need the patch described here to protect against it:

MS03-026: Buffer Overrun in RPC Interface May Allow Code Execution
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=823980

Problem is, you needed to install the patch BEFORE you got infected to avoid
it.
