RPC service
Adam;
You most likely have a worm W32.Blaster.Worm DISCONNECT the subject computer from any network IMMEDIATELY. If necessary to stop the reboot process: Start/Run Type "shutdown -a" ENTER Install or enable a firewall IMMEDIATELY, before connecting to the internet: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=283673 VERY IMPORTANT to follow ALL steps, closing ports or installing the patch is NOT enough. Download the patch and regedit referenced in the article below. You may need to do this at an uninfected computer and burn to CD or save on floppies. Each file is small enough to fit on a floppy. Follow this to clean and protect your computer: http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_qr.htm#rpc After this is resolved prevent similar occurrences by installing ALL Critical Updates from Windows Update. Keep antivirus up to date and run at least weekly. Install or enable a firewall.

RPC service
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.
