Okay, so heres the problem, this is the first time it's happend on my computer, but it has happend on friends computers before, and i dont know how to solve it...this problem only happens when i'm online, what happens is, i'll just be doing the normal shit that i do in every day events y'know, and all of a sudden a dialog window will pop-up saying that some sort of remote connection something has terminated and this causes a countdown which ends in the computer shutting down...can i get some help here?

reformat. It's the easiest way. Or next time you get the error, copy it down on paper and paste the entire thing here. I might be able to help you then.

You have the RPC worm. There was a thread on it a few months back (around August 20th) about how to deal with it.

Alright, next time it happens, i'll take a screen shot, i dont thing reformating will do it, 1) I just reformated this computer, first time i've been online since i've done so, and 2) When it happend on my friends dads computer it happend right after i had reformated it too...only other bit of info i can add is that i use Win XP Pro

Download and run a trojan protection program. Get the latest version of AVG. Run a firewall. Make sure your PC is fully up-to-date from microsoft.com. It looks like you have the worm that was running around a month back.

Look on microsoft.com. It usually has all the patches for known viruses around. As does AVG.

I was close, it was posted on August 11. Credit to Red Devil.

heres what you do, once your comp starts up quickly go to start>settings>control panel>administrative tools>services
once your there scroll down to Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
double click on it and go to the "Recovery" Tab under
first failure/2nd failure/subsequent failures select "Take No Action"

now it wont restart anymore.
then simply go to

and download the fix then run it.
