Guest triplex Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 hello In case you use apps such as kazaa and msn messenger, there is a chance that you are infected with the "w32.blaster.worm" (discovered on: August 11, 2003). The three simple steps to fix that are : a) If your windows keeps shutting down with a message about RPC do the following : Start / Settings / ControlPanel / AdministrativeTools / Services. right click on Remote Procedure Call (RPC) and click on Properties and go to the Recovery Tab. Select the option 'Take No Action' on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd failures. Remove the virus with the tool http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcen...moval.tool.html c) Update your windows system with the patch http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=823980 relevant to this issue links follow : http://www.annoyances.org/exec/forum/winxp/t1037200267 http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcen...aster.worm.html http://lsd-pl.net/special.html free program to remove more trojans and worms : http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/ hope this helps njoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
