initiated by NT Authority/System and that the remote
Control procedure has been terminated and that Windows
must restart. I'm computer illiterate please help

what's going on. If I get a solution I will post again
and let you know.
 
Sounds like you two have the blaster worm! after
rebooting hit control>alt>delete end the task
msblaster.exe this will allow your computer to remain
on,until the next boot, then read other posts on this
site like yours (their are many),for links to remove it
I'm sorry but I don't have them handy.
 
Hi Denis,

It's a virus called blaster or lovesan. Information:

You need the patch described here to protect against it:

MS03-026: Buffer Overrun in RPC Interface May Allow Code Execution
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=823980

Problem is, you needed to install the patch BEFORE you got infected to avoid
it.
