RPC error in Win XP

Dow

Has anybody got any idea how to resolve the below error.
The message always comes up about a minute after I open Internet Explorer and then reboots my PC.

"Windows must restart because the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service terminated unexpectedly. "

When the window telling you that u have 60second before shutdown press start go to RUN command, type in shutdown -a and press enter

Update your virus scanner, and/or go to windows update and get their fix for the W32 blaster worm virus.

Fabritzo thanks for your help.

MSblast.exe

It's an annoying worm, but it's easily fixable.

First of all, go into Settings>Control Panel> Administrative tools.

Go into Services, then find Remote Procedure Calls (RPC), right click it and go to properties.

Click the Recovery tab, and set "First Failure" "Second Failure" and "Subsequent Failure" to "Take no Action"

This will prevent your computer shutting down.

Now you must remove the worm with this removal tool.
