| Ok... i don't know whats going wrong with my comp... i didin't install anything or download anything recently... maybe except email... It was working fine all along But today I turned on comp... and after around 2 mins(after bootup)... a popup comes up and says the Remote Procedure Call service terminated unexpectedly and computer needs restart, and a countdown timer is set 1minute, and it tells me to save all work... I can't stop it or anything...i don't know what's going on... i'm using winxp pro... cpu fan is functioning fine and its not the processor overheating... I don't think its a virus.. but if anyone hears of anything similar and its due to virus... then tell me plz... Plz help... |

| Did you ever mess with the services? Check them, put RPC on auto if need be. Usually an abrupt restart is due to lack of power (poor/low power supply) but since in your case you get this message first its probably something software driven. Check Microsoft MSKB you never know if others have experinced the same.

| Much thanks to all of you guys... for the patch and especially that link... I first tried patch... but couldn't install it cause computer would restart before it could finish(LoL...) but the shutdown -a command surely worked and shutting off msblast.exe ended that story completely... My computer now works perfectly again... |

| I'm glad it works ok. I'd suggest updating the signatures of your virusscanner. If you do not have a virusscanner , you can get a pretty good one for free at www.grisoft.com. Also , check your system for this worm. It's known to exploit the RPC vulnerability. And keep your system updated via www.windowsupdate.com. If you do have a continous internet access , you can configure the windows update manager to constantly keep your system up to date (though i don't really recommend using that feature since there sometimes are microsoft updates that do more harm than good).

Ignorance is not always bliss ?  Kdding aside , it's because most people do not care. They got them computer just like they got them toasters , coffee machines and a car. You don't check www.volkswagenupdate.com or www.toastermachineupdates.com regulary as well to check if they got new firmware upgrades for your machines

| This happened to me today, I was so freaked out and clueless as to how it happened, my game computer had been off for more than 48 hours! It started warning me of low diskspace too so I kept trying to delete some files, but it reset every minute so I must have restarted 20 times and then it just stopped on it's own...though I have yet to restart it again. BTW Belvedere is right, if you have a quality virus scanner update your defs.....it helped me (right as I'm typing this!)  So is the final solution just to update virus definitions and treat it like a standard virus and/or to use the RPC patch?

| See... the reason I originally doubted it was a virus is because I have norton antivirus 2003, i always update every 2 weeks(and yesterday happened to be the day just before the 2 week mark) -_-'' I also have router firewall enabled, winxp firewall enabled. DIdin't download anything in particular, but i guess it was through email... |

| This is a worm that uses the DCOM RPC, (Distributed Component Object Model) (Remote Procedure Call), which is most likely used on TCP/IP port 135, with a good compile of it. I'm pretty such an anti-virus will pick it up and quarantine it until you can download the patch, then delete it totally. |

| Although its pretty impossible to dsable the "Remote Procedure Call" service on XP, since a long list of dependencies on this XP service is needed; it is quite adequate to disable the service called"remote procedure call locater" sevice, simple set it to "manual" or "disable" wold practically stop remote DCOM components to be potentially located and executed, which IMO is a better long-term preventive measure. take care as long as you dont use some futureman distributed net-centric softs. |
