RPC error shutdown

Your pc has probably been affected by the MSBlast worm.

Look here:

Yep, sounds like Blaster to me too. Since you're running WinXP, you should enable the built-in firewall for your Internet connection before plugging it in for the first time--this prevents Blaster infection nicely.

Question regarding this error.

I have a formatted HDD with a fresh copy of XP Pro. Im getting these exact errors. I have removed all partitions from the drive and started from scratch only to get the same results. I install XP - Connect my Adsl for regustration. And Boom the machine hits the RPC error.

Any Advise

Hi paulsmith

I basically downloaded a patch from Microsft website for the wormblaster and it sorted itself out.
Hope this helps

To Stop it try do this:

StartMenu >> Run
and then type this:
Shutdown -a
then Hit [ENTER]

it will appears at later time but you can prevent it

Install Symantec Personal Firewall 2003 and it will not appear any more...

Hi there,

if the above methods didn´t solve your problem your computer could be infected with the W32.Welchia.B.Worm, wich causes the exact same effects on the RPC service as the blaster worm.

The following symantec page describes the worm and provides a tool to remove it:

Hope it helps.

A friend of mine had blaster, installed the patch and virus checking software now says his computer is clean. Now his dial-up connection doesn't work. We've both had a look at it  can't figure out what's wrong. I am not sure its a virus leftover, but it looks like it.

I checked all the DFU and network settings and everything looks fine. Dial-ups with different telephone numbers all produce the same result. The connection is established, down at the bottom right, you get the little graphic and the comment that a connection is established at 49200bps or somesuch. However no network application receives data. I tried ping with an IP address and this also failed, so it is not just a DNS problem.

I'd appreciate all tips,
thanks

I reformatted my Hard Drive did a fresh install same error and I don't see any worms running in Task Manager. It sounds like the virus but I don't see any evidence of it.

Any information would help, thanks.

Sorry, this question is already ansewered and closed. You need to ask a new question in order to receive help.

Also, it's against the rules of EE to place your email-address in a question, it's allowed  to place it in your profile, but not in a question.
