Hello, I have a major problem with my Win Xp Professional.
Every time I enter the Internet, windows shuts my computer automatically within a minute. The message presented is as the following:
"This system is shutting down. Please save all work in progress and log off. Any ansaved changes will be lost. This shutdown was initiated by NT Authority/System.
Windows must now restart because the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service terminated unexpectedly.
That's the
MS Blaster worm in action. It used the useless open service
RPC on XP to install itself and do its dirty deeds. You will have to take several steps to fix it.
1. Go to
Symantec and download-and-run the latest version of
FixBlast, a free stand-alone tool to remove this worm.
2. Go to the
Gibson Research website. Download-and-run the program
Shoot the Messenger. There are other tools there, also.
Note: both these tools will fit on one floppy, so you can download them at a friend's house or computer store.
3. Make sure that all your XP patches are up-to-date.
4. Come back here and do a search on "Blaster" for more details.
5. You will likely also have to delete your
System Restore files, as those have probably also been infected.
