Nah, I seem to be fine now.

But that's what I was saying. It attacks and infects you fast, it must be a small file, as I've got some slow dial-up. If it were the virus that is.

Within 5 minutes of being online from a fresh clean install, I had the RPC shutdown again.

It seems that patch has put an end to it, along with the software enabled firewall.


Whatever happened to the good old virus attachment that you could just delete? This passive/aggressive crap sucks

Found it in prefetch too. Also two locations in the registry.

I can't wait till they find out who wrote this. I get his eye teeth for my watch fob!!!

Here is the other registry location:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupreg\windows auto update

oh, the irony. this morning I was talking to my boss on the phone and he complained twice during the call that he was getting shut down with the same error msg. it was making him angry. he said "fix it! and I said "I'll get right on it." needless to say, with all the meetings for the rest of the day, I didn't get to it and figured I'll do it tomorrow.

fast forward to 10:45 p.m. - quick jump on the net to take a load off my mind and surf the board. then, lo and behold!! Hugh comes up with the same problem that the loyal and faithful listers already had a solution to by the time I logged on!! now that's what I call a good community. p-car owners are the best!

bottom line? I get to fix the problem for the boss tomorrow with minimum fuss and look like I've been burning the midnight oil to resolve the issue.

life is sooo unfair sometimes!

why move this to the OT, some things should STAY where people actually will VIEW it so it will HELP them too

[ronin]

couldn't agree more. it definitely helped me (help others)

thanks, Z-man, for moving this to the OT . . . I wouldn't have seen it otherwise.
