I think I have some variant of the blaster virus. I'm running Windows XP
Home.
I always said there was no virus that I couldn't remove from a computer,
because if I had to I would format the hard drive. I think I met my
Waterloo.
Coming from a cold boot I got about 30 seconds before a window pops up that
says Remote Procedure Call is closing down my computer. And then it counts
down from 60 seconds and closes down. It will not allow me to go into
administrative services and change the RPC. I double click on it and
nothing happens. I have tried everything. Booted in safe mode, booted from
a system disk, booted to my C: prompt. Whoever authored this virus covered
all the bases.
All I want to do at this point is format the hard drive. Any
Suggestions??????????????????????????????
