Default RPC shutdown at logon

When any user logs onto this XP Pro box it starts an RPC
shutdown with a one minute countdown and then reboots. I
can get into safe mode and not be shutdown. This happened
after an upgrade to XP Pro from Win 98.

its the blaster worm. www.norton.com or www.mcafee.com both have free
removal tools. also AVG is a good free anti virus software package and Zone
Alarm is a good free firewall package.

Greetings --

If you've connected the PC to the Internet without having first
enabling a firewall, without having first installed an antivirus
application with current virus definition files, and/or before
installing the KB824146 Hotfix, you're very likely to have been
infected from any of the thousands of PCs on the Internet that are
constantly broadcasting the Blaster and/or Welchia worms. It only
takes a few seconds of exposure.

To stay on-line long enough to get the necessary updates, patches,
and removal tools, click Start Run, and enter "shutdown -a" when the
next RPC countdown begins. This will abort the shut down. Also, make
sure you've enabled a firewall before starting, to preclude any more
intrusions while getting the updates/patches/tools.
