RPC shutdown
In ,
MP typed: When on internet I get system shut down message, remote proceedures call service terminated unexpectly by NT authority system, windows must restart. what can , I do to stop this from happening??? You have the MSBlaster worm. To remove it, do the following: The following instructions are in three parts 1. Stop it from running 2. Remove it from your system 3. Make sure it doesn't come back Before beginning, if you have an always-on internet connection, it's a good idea to disconnect it. 1. Stop it from running Press Ctrl-Alt-Delete to bring up the Task Manager, then on the Processes tab, click msblast.exe and then "End process." Reply "Yes" to the warning message that comes up. This stops the worm from running, so your system will not shut down. However, it doesn't remove it, and if that's all you do, it will start up again the next time you boot. *** 2. Remove it from your system a. Start the registry editor program, regedit, by going to Start | Run, and typing REGEDIT Navigate to HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr ent Version\Run by clicking the plus signs next to each of the folders in the left hand pane. When you get to the last of them, Run, click the word Run itself. Find an entry called "Windows Auto Update" on the right side. Right-click it and delete it. b. Do a Windows search for msblast, and delete all files found. The worm is now gone, and won't start again the next time you boot. But if that's all you do, you can get reinfected just as you did the first time. *** 3. Make sure it doesn't come back a. Make sure you're running a firewall that prevents worms like this from getting in. You can enable the built-in Windows XP firewall, or download and install another one such as the free version of ZoneAlarm. To enable the built-in firewall, go to Control Panel, double-click Networking and Internet Connections, then click Network Connections. Right-click your connection, then click Properties, and on the Advanced tab, click the option "Protect my computer and network..." b. If you've disconnected your internet connection, reconnect it. Download and install the Microsoft patch at http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...80-x86-ENU.exe That will remove the vulnerability that the worm exploits. c. Be sure you are running an anti-virus program, and that you regularly download the latest updated virus definitions. -- Ken Blake - Microsoft MVP Windows: Shell/User Please reply to the newsgroup |
