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. |

RPC shutdown at logon
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. "Doug" wrote in message ...

RPC shutdown at logon
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.
