I seem to have found a worm in my pc that when on the Internet pops up a error message about an RPC (Remote Procedure Call) error and gives me one minute before I get my system shut down. I have looked for info on this (takes awhile when you get shut down about every half hour) and found a mocrosoft patch to prevent this (I think) but don't know if further action needs to be done. Does anyone else know of this or what to do?

See my answer at the MDT. I am glad to learn that I am not the only one with this problem. Sorry for being so selfish. [:I]

Here is the link to Symantec's info on the worm:

Note that you can have the same symptoms, but not have the worm. It seems to be a known vulnerability in Windows, and it's probably advisable to download all security updates.

Yeah Dierk you are not alone. The entire University of Wisconsin computer network got affected by this little worm. I can't say about all the campuses but ours spent a great deal of time going to user stations getting rid of it. ugh,

Thanks for the thoughts and links. I think I was able to fix the problem. Seems an awful lot of people I know even around town have gotten this thing[xx(]
