NT AUTHORITY/SYSTEM Remote Procedure Call

[Dave]

Running XP Pro. After a few minutes on the web, I get a
message that NT AUTHORITY/ SYSTEM Remote Procedure Call
service terminated unexpectedly. I have been trying to
get Windows Update packs but keep getting cut-off.

Thanks for your help.

* Turn on your firewall
* Go to windows update (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com) and install all
critical updates. You don't have to download the other updates if you don't
want to, but "Critical" means what it says.
* Update your virus scanner and do a full scan of your system
* Consider turning on automatic windows updates, or get into the habit of
visiting windows update on a regular basis.

Apparently, your computer has an unwelcome visitor (VIRUS) known=20
as the WM32 Blaster/Lovsan WORM.

It entered the computer through your internet connection because the =
"firewall"
was not properly enabled and essential critical updates were not =
installed from
the Windows Update website. For instructions on fixing the problem, =

If your computer is constantly attempting to shutdown
or reboot, quickly go to:

Start > Run and type: CMD , and hit enter.
This opens the Command Prompt window.

Then type: shutdown -a , and hit enter.

This should halt the rebooting problem.

Then immediately turn-on Windows XP's built-in Firewall:
