i had a huge prob wif my home pc yesterday.... kept getting the following prob..

"System Shutdown" with the text:
This system is shutting down. Please save all work in progress
and log off. Any unsaved changes will be lost. This shutdown
was initiated by NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM

Time before shutdown: 00:00:59

Message:
Windows must now restart because the Remote Procedure Call
(RPC) service terminated unexpectedly


(The machine then reboots in 59 seconds.)

it was so frustrating.... my pc like rebooted 20 over times in one nite....
tried to search for solutions on the net... and the bloody comp shut down.... nearly wanted to thrash my pc.....
i think it only happens to users using Windows XP... and it's spread thro' p2p softwares such as MSN Messenger....
spent the whole nite trying to recover the prob... luckily i came across this site >> http://www.techsupportforums.com/
and realised that i'm not alone.... many pple experienced the prob....
installed a patch from Microsoft Windows Update.... seems to be working fine after that..... hopefully when i go home and use my pc, it'll be in perfect working order... :shakehead

if anyone experienced the same prob... read here>>>http://www.techsupportforums.com/showthread.php?s=bcf6c76b15844027eb09da5e62b2e6da&threadid=6569&forumid=10

also, my norton anti-virus kept giving a msg that it found a virus with the name... W32.Blaster.worm....

so do remember to update your anti-virus as well.....

YEAH it too late for me man i got the same problem since Monday. I thought it was some hardware error cuz it constantly restrat my comp and with that messages so i reformated my hd and reinstalled windows luckily i got a slave drive where i store all my files. MAN it pissed off that some punk is spreading these virus. This is the 4th time i have to do this it waste time and i have to reinstalled so many program.

yeah but by the time i can dl it the comp restart. IT cool now and to be honest the Miscrosoft won't let me update. cuz u know........this copy ain't retail even though i bought the windows xp cd that not the disc i used i used the one i got off the net.

Have you check your scan engine ??? is it working properly ? and make sure that your virus definition has been updated ..... anyway how many people in here are using Mc Afee Scan Engine ?

sure thanks man. who else have this problem?

i din really know what was going on at first.... after running my anti-virus several times, the bloody prob still happens.... was at wit's end.... so the nxt ting i tot of doing was to re-format... but i'm such a baka when it comes to comp... din know how to do a re-format also...

so no choice, have to try to go online to search for solutions... but it's freaking frustrating cos' the bloody comp shuts down every 3-5 mins or so!!!! i really hope that by installing the patch helps....

ya... it really pisses me off when i think that some idiot got nothing better to do.... coming up wif viruses and go round spreading it!!!!!!!!

It's also a good idea to install a firewall, just to be safe. I have Norton anti-virus and Personal Firewall installed on my system. I get a lot of port-scan, intrusion alerts from the firewall everyday. True most of these alerts are probably of not real concern cuz many of them are from so called hack programs that automatically search ip's for open ports etc. My friend's like "why would anyone hack my comp? bah nothing to worry about." For me, I think better be safe than sorry.

kooko5 ... are you using ADSL connection ... for IE / Netscape ??? if yes ... pls take care about another intruder / hacker / viruses warm ...

so my suggestion is ... pls disconnect your adsl link connection .. once you are no longer to use it anymore, dont forget to updated your scan engine and also virus data definition files through Super Dat for Mc Afee product.

You can update your virus database engine by clicking this below url :

I hope this option can help your problem ...

Ja ne byee

shit!!!! jus wat the hell is happening man!!!!!

Pals .... are using ADSL line ..... take a care about connection ... as we know that the line is dedicate for us and never offline until we initiate to disconnect ... so there are possibilty for other people who want reach our connection by tapping / hacking / distribute any kind of viruses, etc ....

please make your that the firewall option in your network properties (control panel ) has enable ...

Download regarding your OS.

Then install firewall:

Zone Alarm is good free firewall.

Cheers.

I'm sorry it happened to you...

I haven't encountered a problem like yours with my computer *knocks on wood*...

...but something also happened to my bro's computer last week. I think it's a different situation. Don't know wether it was infected by a virus or what. I think there was something wrong with his motherboard...because his computer couldn't boot. He couldn't do anything to fix it...so he bought a new motherboard to replace the old one.

I don't exactly know what the problem was. Neither did he.

I used "McAfee" & "Norton" before...but then I switched to "Trend Micro's PC-cillin". Dunno which of these is the best one to use.
