Auto Shutdown - Error in Remote Control Protocol

[Annabella]

I've just upgraded from Win 98 to Win XP and whenever I
turn on the computer soon or later an error message would
pop up saying computer has to shut down because there's an
error in Remote Control Protocol. What's wrong, and how to
rectify?

[Rick \Nutcase\ Rogers]

Um, more likely it is with the RPC or Remote Procedure Call.

It's a virus called blaster or lovesan. Information:

http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.blaster.worm.html
http://www.bigblackglasses.com/Article.aspx?Article=342

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.

Thanks very much! Before I was using Win 98 so I didn't
pay much attention to Lovesan... So I guess I need to
download the patch. reinstall Win XP and run the patch? or
do i need to format HDD first to wipe the slate clean?

No need to reformat the system. Run the Fixblast.exe tool from Symantec. +
update the virus definititions (for the AV software you have) and run a full
system scan.

Install the path MS03-026 & MS03-039 as well. Importantly, enable Internet
Connection Firewall to prevent the problem occurring again.

Follow the advice given by Rick.
