Remote Procedure Call Terminated Unexpectedly

Rich --

Apparently, your computer has an unwelcome visitor (VIRUS) known
as the WM32 Blaster/Lovsan worm.

It entered your computer through your internet connection because the "firewall"
was not properly enabled and essential critical updates were not installed from
the Windows Update website. For instructions on fixing the problem, visit:

What You Should Know About the Blaster Worm
http://www.microsoft.com/security/incident/blast.asp

Remove W32.MSBlast.Worm

If your computer is constantly attempting to shutdown
or reboot, quickly go to:

Start > Run and type: shutdown -a , and hit enter.

This should halt the rebooting problem.

Then immediately turn-on Windows XP's built-in Firewall:

I receive this message while using internet explorer on
my HP laptop.

Shortly after logging into MSN internet an error message
pops up informing that the connection will be terminated
in 60 seconds because "REMOTE PROCEDURE CALL TERMINATED
UNEXPECTEDLY. INITIATED BY NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM". Does
anyone know what this is all about and what I can do about
it?

Its possible your PC is infected by the Blaster worm...
