I am also getting the RPC shutdown, only it happens
without having a file open! I called my cable provider
and they said there is some hacker or something getting
into Microsoft XP! Does anyone know what we can do about
this?????????? Thanks!
 
Dawn;
DISCONNECT the subject computer from any network IMMEDIATELY.

Install or enable a firewall IMMEDIATELY:

VERY IMPORTANT to repair, closing ports is NOT enough.
Download the patch from the Windows Catalog.

You want: 823980
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.
