RPC Shut down automatically

am running windows xp home edition. after formating the
hard drive with the manufactures software, it has
obtained a problem. The computer automatically shuts down
in 60 seconds and comes up with a messege of something to
this effect..."windows will be shut down. this has been
authorized by the nt authority." it has a timer and
counts down. at the bottom it says something about a
remote procedure call. how do i get rid of this or stop
it from happening?

Hello
You have contracted the Blaster Virus.

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:

Special note if you use AOL:

America Online installs its own connection settings that override
the ones that come with Windows XP. America Online's
connection settings don't include a way to turn on Windows XP's
built-in firewall.

Visit the following web site for instructions on downloading
a FREE firewall program for your computer.
