What's new

Anyone know what this means....

Does anyone know how to deal with the "Remote Call Procedure" error that keeps timing me out of Windows xp? Apparently Microsoft patches are not working due to another virus-like infection on their windowsupdate site.

Thanks in advance.

I don't know if you're talking about this virus:

And here is the fix

That's why I gave up Windows (only use it for games).

OK--thanks, Marc. These RPC attacks are probably related to this LoveSans virus, but in my case also blocking access to the update site and preventing the patch from downloading. This means I'll probably end up having to do a system restore of some kind. And then disable Microsoft from any future automatic updates. :angryfire
