hi there!
a friend is having a problem with is computer getting the message "This system is shutting down. Windows must now restart because the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service terminated unexpectedly" u wouyld get this when infected with sasser but he doesnt have in his system any symptom produced by the virus. no virus is running and no entry has been made to the registry key run.
my question is if it is not a virus what else could it be?
background:
hes running xp home.
i did a fresh installation form a formated HD.
he has not swith it on apart from a couple of time.
he started to get the problem when he tried to create a internet connection and conection to his ISP(which make virus infection possible).
connection is 56k.
when i tried to connet to another isp in the UK being the computer phisicaly in London ( the other connection is made from spain) no problem arises and im able to donwload sp1.
any ideas?
