Apparently, your computer is 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
neglected to install the critical updates available at the Windows Update website.

Are you looking for info about the cause of "Remote Procedure Call (RPC)",
initiated by NT Authority\System error message that shuts down Windows
(you might also see svchost.exe error occasionally)?

If you have 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.

| Just Installed XP, keep getting RPC service terminating
| error...
|
| Ideas?
 
To stop the RPC from booting you so you can stay on the
internet is got to strat/run
then at the command prompt type shutdown -a

this will stop the RPC and allow you to stay on the
internet for more than 45 secs. You will still need to go
to remove the virus.
