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 theMS 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.

Maybe it's bacause you have to much dust in your hard drive or maybe you got a virus.
Use the system restore:
you can find it in your start menu and click "All Programs"
then click on "accessories" then "System tools" the you'll find it at the bottom.
This thread is from 2003/4. Thats pre-SP2. Which means its almost certainly the blaster worm.
