You have been infected with the Blaster (msblast.exe) virus.

1. Get the Blaster removal script from MVP Kelly Theriot's web site:
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/regs_edits/msblast.vbs
2. Get the Microsoft patch from
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;823980#WinXP

If possible do the first two steps on an uninfected computer and copy
the downloaded files to a 3.5 inch diskette (they will both fit on the
same 1.44 mb diskette) or burn them to a CD

3. Disconnect from the Internet. Unplug Cable/DSL modem if you have
one. That prevents reinfection during the time interval between
running the script and the completion of the patch installation.
4. Run the script.
5. Install the patch.
6. Activate the Internet Connection Firewall in Windows XP
7. Reconnect to the Internet. Update your antivirus software and do
a complete scan.
8. Go to the Windows Update and get all repeat all of the critical
updates for your computer.

Good luck

same problem and I went into "Services" from Administative
tools and changed RPC service from manual to Automatic and
problem solved. also you can change what your computer
does in the event of a service failure.
Make sure its the End Point Mapper service you switch as
the RPC name service database is a useless service as far
as I can tell
 
The virus is still on your computer. You merely took the 'stick your head in
the sand' approach.
