I don't know what happened. It restarts on its own every thirty minutes or so...

If you can't see that picture, it says:


This system is shutting down. Please save all work in progress and log off. Any unsaved changes will be lost. The shutdown was initiated by NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM

Time before shutdown : 00:00:48

Message

Windows must now restart because the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service terminated unexpectedly

I changed the option in the RPC so it won't restart when it fails, but what is going on here?

Yes, I read about my error and it seems to be a worm of some sort. I am online when it happens. Where can I get the fix? Thanks!

Hi there,
Please set your system to show all files; see here for how to do this if you're unsure.

The following are mandatory fixes:
Press Control-Alt-Del to enter the Task Manager.
Click on the Processes tab and end the following processes:

C:\WINDOWS\System32\sassa.exe

Exit the Task Manager when finished

Close all programs down, leaving only HijackThis running.
Place a check against the following items:

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = about:blank
R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = about:blank
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = about:blank
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,CustomizeSearch = about:blank
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchURL,(Default) = about:blank
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Windows Authority] sassa.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [Windows Authority] sassa.exe


Click on Fix Checked and exit HijackThis.

Reboot into Safe Mode: see here if you don't know how to do this.

Using Windows Explorer, locate the following files/folders, and delete them:

C:\WINDOWS\System32\sassa.exe
sassa.exe


Exit Explorer, and reboot as normal afterwards.

Post back a fresh HijackThis log and we'll take another look.
