I installed Windows XP for a friend and get a message: Remote Procedure
Call RPC NT/authenticity system computer will shut down in 30 seconds.
Can someone tell me what means?

It's always wise to search the group for your topic, prior to posting. A
search here for "rpc" or "remote" reveals dozens of tips and links to fix
this worm.

Also search at http://google.com for "blaster".
