K, this probably has been brought up, but this keeps happening to me a lot. I get an error message that pops up and says well. Just look at the screenshot:P. Anyhow, any advice about how to fix this would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

I know how you can get rid of that but dont know whats causing it.

Start-->Run-->Shutdown -a

Ahhhh, here we are. You have a trojan / worm.

You need the windows update! Heres what the buzz is.

that is the RPC exploit. if you have a firewall block ports 135-140. download the RPC buffer overflow fix from download.microsoft.com

Its an exploit.. get the patch, you should be good to go.

WARNING! IF YOU ARE ON AN NT BASED OS, DOWNLOAD THIS SECURITY PATCH RIGHT NOW!!!!!

Windows 2000 click here for the patch.

Do you have all of the latest updates for windows?

I remember recently seeing something from microsoft having to do with rpc stuff... check for updates and security patches...
