windows xp RPC terminated(not the blaster worm) 1

[cybersmoke1]

ive just upgraded my aunts computer to windows xp pro and now after surfing around or downloading for awhile the rpc will terminate, i knew this was the signs of the blaster worm so i got the fix and ran it in safe mode but turned up empty handed.

im frankly boggled as to why this is happening ive never had any problems like this in xp before. any help would be greatly apreciated.

Hi,
Download this and run it:

Ensure you have the critical updates from Microsoft installed also.
Let me know how you get on.
