Greetings Veronica,

It sounds like you're being hit with an RPC exploit. To correct, install this patch:
http://microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS03-026.asp

If this happens again (say while you're downloading the patch), click Start, then Run, then
type "cmd" and click OK. Then on the command line, type:
shutdown -a

This will abort the shutdown and allow you to install the patch.

Hey Veronica
When the RPC service was exploited it is possible a worm called msblast
found its way onto your machine, you may want to follow step 3 on the
following page to check if it is on your computer in addition to installing
the patch as Jon suggests

In future I would recommend using a firewall and staying on top of the
patches provided through the Windows Update site.
