Hi
Well I am again and again getting that notorious shutdown error "Windows must now restart because the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service terminated unexpectedly."

I had blaster worm I downloaded and ran the Symantec tool it successfully remoed the worm
I also intalled the the Windows Windows patch for this PRC vulnerability
from

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en


I thought my machine will be safe now but the shut down error message is again coming

I have installed windows 2 times because of this but again after some time this error comes

I have the patch installed so what to do now?

hi there

check for sasser worm ,u can get its removal tool from symantec and patch from windows

regards

Apart from the Antivirus, make sure that you have a good personal firewall installed on your machine. I found out that it's not enough having just an Antivirus running on your machine. A firewall is an absolute must.

h there

u r right , firewall is required,and what i have found from my personal xperince that "zone alarm" is a good firewal for windowsl!!

It's also a good idea to burn SP1 and the security rollup onto a CD or usb pendrive and install them before putting a system online. I've seen alot of systems get hosed before they can even fully download patches from MS (<3 min uptime).

hey there

if u want to go for service packge,,go for sp2 since the latest jpeg virus problem has affected sp1 in winXP

regards

Thanks for the suggestions , the virus has not showed up again

I had checked for sasser too ,didn't find anything
About the friewall, I have the Windows firewall enabled

Guess I should be going for SP1 or SP2 that will save me from much trouble!

hi there

the latest bug in widows has affected sp1 and not sp2 so go for sp2

regards
