Does it has any relation between it and the Remote Procedure Call Service? (What is it too!!!) I'm now getting error in the Remote Procedure Call Service which forces my computer to shutdown when I connect to the internet.... no way I can escape from this shutdown but by opening QUICKLY the command prompt and write: shutdown -a to abort... Shutdown is aborted, but I can't """CLICK""", the Anchors are not working inside the web pages, when ever I click I get this error message....
any help before calling Bill Gates??? |

Try looking at these two websites: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=823980 - http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=823980 and http://us.mcafee.com/virusInfo/default.asp?id=description&virus_k=100547 - http://us.mcafee.com/virusInfo/default.asp?id=description&virus_k=100547 You may have a worm (described in the second link) which takes advantage of a security hole (described in the first link). Good Luck - eric |

WOW.. I'm not the only one.. to escape from this unexpected shutdown... in these 60 seconds open the command prompt and write: shutdown -a Windows will not shutdown...., but the clicks will not work after this... I think if it is a worm of something like this... so it came to me from OutLook.... I remember very recently a mail came out with errors of C++ and so on just when i clicked on it from Outlook.... |
, sorry the boss....
