Norton for me. You kind of need this sort of software for clean-ups when you have 300mbs left on your machine! [addsig]

I have a gay virus that shuts down my computer only a few minutes after connecting to the internet. Downloading AVG now since it beats the 60$ price tag of Norton's 2004 NAV. [addsig]

There's a patch through that, it's called msblast, and it only happens when you connect to a Microsoft Server, or it did when it came out. You can get a specific patch for it through System Update. [addsig]

Unno. But its a good excuse for another reformat

And I figured out why SATA didnt work last time. In BIOS, the boot device was IDE-0 and theres a option for SATA.

I use BlackICE and in 90 days ive had 1009 atempted connections and of that lot only 23 are malicious.

I usualy get UDP or TCP probes but ocasionaly get a Sub7 probe and I get a hell of alot of probes from 207.44.240.23 I have no idea where and what it is (apart from a computer).

Psh, that's puny. I've got ZoneAlarm and in about 2 months I've already had 155,267 attempted connections and 11520 are high rated. And before I re-formatted it was past a million over a 6 month period. Also you usually can't install XP now without getting worms if you don't pre-install a firewall before you connect to the internet. You can't patch anything fast enough.

Cause I had some gay virus? And I knew long ago there was a thread for free anti-virus software, so I did a search.

And SATA still didnt work. Oh well, here's to reinstalling ME and then XP pro. T'will be a long night boys!

Windows XP pro CD isnt a boot-data CD. The idiot that burned it didnt make it so. So I need a OS installed before I can install XP pro.

Anyways, reformat is complete. But I still get that damn bastard shut down. Why is that?

Its something to do with Remote Procedure Call or something like that.

Here's the exact error:

[edit]
Ok, reading on, they say this is because of a blaster worm due to some security update. Yet the only thing I installed was the service pack (off a CD). I connected to the internet, yes. But it wasent even 60 seconds before I got this.

*types this really slow*

nick, its a simple thing to remedy. you can either

1) disable remote proceedure call, just google search on how.. but i would recommend that you..

2) get the patch, its simpler by far.

these constant posts of yours, that are solvable with 2 minutes of google searching are making you look silly.

the message you posted is a common malady, google will help you, but only if you use it.

I never thought about Google *slaps self*

I was looking at Symantec's website but I could find anything.
