Hi,

Just wondered if anyone has any ideas as to why I
regularly get an error message box whilst connected to
the net, which mentions a problem with a "remote call
procedure" and then gives me 30 seconds which countdown
before automatically rebooting my pc!!!!

It seems like something a virus might do, but Norton
doesn't detect anything??

Any sugesstions would be greatly appreciated

Cheers

Neil
