viruses that exploit rpc in winxp home

[stringcheeseincident]

i have a virus that exploits the rpc procedure, where the computer turns off after 60 seconds. i can go into the command prompt and disable the shutdown, but from there i have no internet access on that computer. i have been able to load different removal programs via my flash drive, and i've already tried the Blaster and Sasser worm removal tools. neither said those worms were detected. what other worms/trojans/viruses are out there that exploit the rpc procedure? i guess i just have to run tons of removal tools until i find which virus it is.

Did you try McAfee Stinger instead of the separate removal tools?

Please don't cross-post.

You need to install the sasser windows update most likely

downloaded Stinger, ran it a few times, but it didn't help at all. it went through all my files, and after every time i ran it i restarted, and the computer still wanted to shut down. anyone got other suggestions? i can't connect to the internet which means i cant do the windows update, either.

1) unplug computer from modem
2) format and reintsall XP
3) turn on XP firewall
4) plug computer back into modem
5) download SP2

What OS do you have, WinXP? If so, I'm guessing you don't have Service Pack 2, so that would be very easy to download offline and install.
