David,
Thank you for your repsonse.  The reason why I think I have this worm, is
because when windows starts up, immediately a window opens up with RPC
notifying me that windows will shut down in 48 seconds or so.  Once this
happens, it also locks me from any further functions including the start
button, and including the task manager.  The computer freezes basically, 
then
proceeds to shut down.  I've tried to get to the task manager to stop the
processes, but can't get to task manager.
So far I've been able to press f8 and get to the command prompt and stop the
rpc from shutting down by typing "sc failure rpcss reset= 0 actions= 
restart"
in the c: prompt.  Which has stopped the rpc window from showing up.  But 
now
I have the same problem of the computer freezing on me and not allowing me 
to
do anything else.
I've also tried searching for the various Msblast.exe, Nstask32.exe,
Penis32.exe, Teekids.exe, Winlogin.exe, Win32sockdrv.dll, or Yuetyutr.dll
names on the command prompt and have had no luck.  As of right now, i'm lost
as to what to do.
I cannot open windows explorer, so that's out of the question....Any further
advice?????  THanks, Perry
