Dear all Forgive the massively OT nature of this post but it's always good to ask fellow puter bods...
Is anybody experiencing or has seen a problem with Windows XP recently involving an automatic shutdown? My brother and a friend are both experiencing this issue. Within minutes of Windows booting up they receive a dialog informing them of a remote shutdown request through the Remote Procedure Call client (RPC) from NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM (basically it seems like a standard remote shutdown request without the remote request!). I've hit various virus labs and resources for info on a RPC vulnerability or virus which would do this and can't find anything so far. Anybody know anything more, or have fixed it (like turning off the whole RPC subsystem :D and throwing Windows in the bin). Sorry again Ross P.S. I'd appreciate it if all you Mac users waiting until I left before you snigger at the flaws we wintel users have to put up with...
