The pass this cycle, please follow the steps:

1. task manager |processes | find "msblast.exe" and end process
2. control panel |administrative tools| services
3. locate service name "remote procedure call (RPC)" double click on it, go
recovery tab, change first failure and rest of them from restart computer to
restart service.
4. as soon as you do this, go microsoft web-site to download the security
patch especially for blaster worm.
5. keep update your anti-virus

Hope this would help you out.
