RPC Shutdown

I posted a message in here last night about the TFTP988
error message that pops up at the start up of my
computer. My message started yesterday afternoon, but
that was all it was.
My file (TFTP988)is evidently a DAT file but it has 0
bytes in size. Last night I started to get the RPC
shutdown message. I have run a virus scan on just the
TFTP988 file and on my entire C drive and both came back
as negative for any viruses.
I have XPHomeEdition and run on a cable modem. The only
time that I got shutdown messages were about 5- 10
minutes after opening Internet Explorer. My shutdowns (3
in all) started about 1:00 am eastern time.
I have also run a Scan Disk and that came back as OK.
I am totally baffled as to the reason all of this is
happening to so many of us.
Please Please anyone who has any ideas what so ever let
us know.
Any help would be appreciated.

The RPC problem is public knowledge. Here's but one of many, many Web
postings on the subject:

(The source of that article indicates clearly that this is a wide-spread
problem.)
