Remote Procedure Call terminating Win XP unexpectantly

My

Hi David,

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

You need the patch described here to protect against it:

MS03-039: A Buffer Overrun in RPCSS Could Allow an Attacker to Run Malicious
Programs
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=824146

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

If you got Blaster as Rick has said this may assist you:

CTRL-ALT-DELETE to bring up the Task Manager. Look for msblast.exe and
select it and End Process. This will stop the computer from shutting down.
It doesn't remove the worm.

You could also try:
Click Start/Run then type in cmd
and then type in : shutdown -a
Do this when the shutdown prompt appears.
