Virus ALERT - VERY IMPORTANT FOR WINDOWS XP/2000 USERS

This is a virus, folks!

Here is what you need to do to remedy yourselves.

Problem: With no warning, my system pops up a dialog that states, "Windows must now restart because the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service terminated unexpectedly". It generally happens several times a day.

Possible Solution: First, IMMEDIATELY disconnect from the internet!

Go to Start/Run and type in: services.msc

Scroll down to Remote Procedure Call (RPC)/Recovery/First Failure/Restart the Service.

Install or enable a firewall immediately.
