I'm encountering a major problem. Every so often (it is increasing its frequency) I get this notice

The computer starts a shut down sequence that is intiated by the NT Authority/System. A Remote Procedure Call Service Term unexpected

I can't find what's going on and I need help desperately!!! Maybe this will help. I work in a school system and manage the computer lab. It's quickly working its way through all the computers

thanks.

Jager,

Apparently, your computer is now infected with the W32.Blaster.Worm or
one of its variants. This happened because you have not been using an
internet connection firewall and have apparently neglected to install
the critical updates available from Microsoft.

If your computer is constantly attempting to shutdown or reboot:

Start - Run, type "shutdown -a", and hit Enter.

This should halt the reboot. Now fix the problem.

Immediately turn-on Windows XP's built-in Firewall:

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

A tool is available to remove Blaster worm and Nachi worm infections
from computers
that are running Windows 2000 or Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=833330

A security issue has been identified that could allow an attacker to
remotely compromise a computer running Microsoft Windows and
gain complete control over it. You can help protect your computer
by installing this update from Microsoft.

A special note if you use AOL:

America Online installs its own connection settings that override
the ones that come with Windows XP. America Online's
connection settings don't include a way to turn on Windows XP's
built-in firewall.

Visit the following web site for instructions on downloading
a FREE firewall program for your computer.

Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing.
 
Jager,

My first impression is that you have the "W32.Blaster.Worm". A scan and
removal tool can be found at Symantec's site. I have included the URL for
you to follow.
