S.O.S.!!!!! Error- System Restart
My friend has just been signing on and off aim trying to send me a picture. He told me that every minute he gets an error saying that his computer will shutdown. I don't have a website so I don't know any other way to do this than to just wewrite message. He claims he has downloaded nothing before this error.
System Shutdown [X] The 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 shutting down: 00:00:39 -Message---------------------------------------------- Windows must now restart because the Remote Procedure Call(RPC) terminated unexpectedly |

Perhaps related:
Homeland security has notified everyone about yet another huge absolutely critical code-red end-all flaw. And it does involve the RPC and a buffer overwrite exploit, which allows someone smart to send a properly malformed message to your computer and gain full control. I would look for this patch. Should not be hard to find. Again, may or may not be related, but a place to start. |

Thanks for replying guys, after he started getting the message and DCed on AIM to send me a screenshot. Then, about 5 hours later EYE got the message. I got it once signed back on. I went on AIM and said he gave me a virus but he said it was not one. Then I got kicked again and I was starting to get a bit angry. I did virus checker and found 4 back door trojans! But they wree not the problem. Then he sent me the windows patch for the exploit and its all gone. Boy am I relieved. Well thanks for responding everyone.

I was just thinking... might this error have something to do with MSBlast worm?

Yes it IS related the MSBlaster Worm. And for those of you that have downloaded the M$ patch, don't forget to run a removal tool to completely clean your system of the worm.
I usually rely on Symantec for removal tools. I used their removal tool on my friend'c pc. Here's the link: http://securityresponse.symantec.com...oval.tool.html P.S. In case someone hasn't already downloaded the patch, here's a link to it... http://www.microsoft.com/technet/tre...n/MS03-026.asp |
