Win XP Home shuts down during web sessions

For the last few days I have been cut off 5 times in a
row when connected to the internet. I use MSN 8 and I
have no offline similar problems. During my sessions I
get a message stating: "This system is shutting down.
Please save all work in progress..
This shutdown has been called by NT Authority\system.
Windows must now restart because the Remote Procedure
Call (RPC) service terminated unexpectedly."

Apparently, your computer has an unwelcome visitor known
as the WM32 Blaster/Lovsan worm.

It entered your computer through your internet connection because the "firewall"
was not properly enabled and essential critical updates were not installed from
the Windows Update website. For instructions on fixing the problem, visit:

Remove W32.MSBlast.Worm

If your computer is constantly attempting to shutdown
or reboot, quickly go to:

Start > Run and type: shutdown -a , and hit enter.

This should halt the rebooting problem.

Then immediately turn-on Windows XP's built-in Firewall:
