Exclamation **Look here if you have RPC problem**

Allright, to all who are having the RPC problem:

These problems may be related to a hack that uses the exploit in the RPC. Follow these steps:

1) Click on "Start", "All Programs", "Start Up" and look for the program called "webdav.exe". If you have this little jewl, supposedly you've been HACKED. This program allows the attacker to gain complete and total control of your system.

2) Now, if you have an anti-virus programing running, update it and scan your PC. "Webdav" may or may not be detected. If it is not then send a sample of it to your anti-virus program vendor so they can start detecting it.

3) Most important, install Microsoft's latest patch for the RPC problem. From what I can tell though, if your running Win XP, you have to have "gold" edition (I think it is called) or you must have "Service Pack 1" installed and running. Full details are at Microsoft's site.

Here is all the info on Webdav

Webdav Info

Now if you don't have the Webdav prgram on your PC then you still need to install the patch. Supposedly the RPC error is triggered through a hack attempt. There's some instructions on how to disable the shutdown that occurs when the RPC error happens in one of the post above.

I hope this helps you all. I'll update if I get any new info
