Yesterday,I had the Remote Procedure message come up
everytime I logged on the internet after about 3 minutes,
giving me 60 seconds before it shut down and restarted.
I tried to download everything that may help recover the
system such as Q331320_WXP_SP2_x86_ENU. I do not know if
what I did is going to help. Could you please answer my
question because I really need to use the internet for my
school project.
Thank You
TJ
 
TJ;
You most likely have a worm W32.Blaster.Worm
DISCONNECT the subject computer from any network IMMEDIATELY.

Install or enable a firewall IMMEDIATELY:

VERY IMPORTANT to follow ALL steps, closing ports or installing the
patch is NOT enough.
Download the appropriate patch referenced in Ron Martells article
below.
You may need to do this at an uninfected computer and burn to CD or
save on floppy.

This is the IMPORTANT fix by Ron Martell:

After this is resolved prevent similar occurrences by installing ALL
Critical Updates from Windows Update.
Keep antivirus up to date and run at least weekly.
Install or enable a firewall.
