Two of my friends had this. Heres how you know if you have it:

After using IE, or it seems any program, A popup window will come up, saying that the Remote Protocol Procedure has failed, and windows will need to shutdown. The patch came out mid-june :rolleyes:. If you have it, before running the repair tool, deactivate windows restore as it hides itself inthere, and norton will not be able to access it.

The links above are all you should need to remove the virus. Be sure to update your dat files today because norton only updated there dat files as of this morning for the virus.

I had this thing happen to me a few days ago, then it didn't happen again. I installed the patch anyway, just to be safe.
Just yesterday about 4 of my friends on MSN were screaming to me "I HAVE A VIRUS!" and explained this to me. I directed them here. ^_^

It is a virus. Its technically a worm. It sends itself out on 3 ports through tcp/ip. The reason its able to do this is because of an opening in windows but thats what viruses do.

I think my computer is packed with so many viri, worms, and trojans that no more can get in.. and the ones I do have don't have space to work ^_~

The reason I say that is because I got this worm in my computer and it started telling me i'd have 60 seconds until shutdown, then after 10 minutes it still did nothing.. then I got the patch and off it went :D

jsut download the critical updates so that it doesnt happen to you and if it is happening to you just download the critical updates. for me it got so bad that it was hapening within 30 seconds of everytime i booted my computer, it restarts your computter.

Me was horrible for the one simple reason that it runs on an emulator. They can say that it doesn't run on dos because it first loads an emulator, then loads dos, then loads windows. It is a horrible operating system that had a load of flaws. 98 was better....

some people are getting the idea that this problem is some sort of virus. IT IS NOT A VIRUS!!!
It works like that messanger thing does on win xp. Exept you cant turn this one off you have to download the CRITICAL UPDATE(823980) thats the exact one you need but after you fix it make sure to get them all just in case but for now get that one cause for me it was a ***** since i could barely download one before my system restarted hopefully that will help some of you
