HELP!! Computer help needed with microsoft RPC

PO69 · Aug 11, 2003

What in the hell happened to that post earlier about the RPC problem???

My computer is totally ****ed right now. I turn it on and when it boots up, then about 20 seconds later it says that it will close in 1 minute due to the RPC.

How can I fix this since it has already happened to me and where are those great links from teh earlier post??

I am on another computer right now and will be here for 20 more minutes at least

How does one do all of this before the computer shuts down though? Is everyone elses computer shuting down as quick as mine does after it starts??

Would there be any reason why I dont see that mbals program running?

Based upon the current info out there, if you don't have msblast.exe, you don't have this virus.

you can also cancel the shutdown by typing "shutdown -a" at a cmd prompt.

Where is the command prompt located? Or how do i get it to show up?
