I get a message that the RPC is shutting down my computer in 60 sec. What is this and how do I stop this?
 
I too had this problem recently. Tracked it down to a virus
(worm, actually) in the system Volume Information File. Do a
virus scan. I found AVG Free version detects it but is
unable to heal or remove the virus, for which you need a
more sophisticated antivirus rogram. I also discovered that
I needed to shut down my internet connection in order to
keep windows running so that I could do a virus check. Good
luck.

You have the Blaster Worm...
When you get the shutdown message...

Go to; Start --> Run
enter; shutdown -a



http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_qr.htm for a quick removal tool for the
MSBlast worm and a link to the Microsoft patch to prevent future infection.
Then update your antivirus software and scan your system.

Greetings --

If you connected the PC to the Internet without having first
installed the KB824146 Hotfix, without having first installed an
antivirus application with current virus definition files, and before
enabling a firewall, you're very likely to get infected from any of
the thousands of PCs on the Internet that are constantly broadcasting
the Blaster and/or Welchia worms. It only takes a few seconds of
exposure.

To stay on-line long enough to get the necessary updates, patches,
and removal tools, click Start > Run, and enter "shutdown -a" when the
next RPC countdown begins. This will abort the shut down. Also, make
sure you've enabled a firewall before starting, to preclude any more
intrusions while getting the updates/patches/tools.
