You probably have another variant or the Sasser Worm. Boot into safemode and goto Administrative Tools->Services Find the RPC service, right click and select properties. Under Recovery Tab, change the drop down boxes to read "Take no Action" for all three of them. click apply. Restart your computer and clean the system with a good AV such as Kaspersky or NOD32. Apply any patches from MS Website.
btw are you using XP SP2 ?

Hello Buddy-

If u get the shutdown message and the countdown frm 60 secs begins just do this.Go to start -> run -> and type " shutdown -a ".That should solve the problem.

svchost.exe is system file .. services host or something like that .. nothing wrong if its running

other than that you've got blaster or sasser worm
