Trivial File Protocol / Remote Protocol Call.
Hi,
Starting to day I have seen several alerts from my Firewall - first concerning something called Trivial File Protocol which was trying to access the Internet. The next was for ATW Protocol.
I have had this, my second system for about 14 days and in that time have been able to get online without any problems (via a Broadband 512k Connection.) However from today within 60 seconds of going online I get a dialog box stating Remote Protocol Call was terminated unexpectedly - then after a timed 60 second interval Win XP closes and reboots. Only for the same thing to recur when I go online.
Can anyone shed any light on what may have happened to cause this ? And on what I can do to rectify it ?
My System Specs :
Athlon 2600.
Gigabyte GN 7 400 Mobo.
80 GB Hard Disk.
Samsung352B Combo Optical Drive.
GF4 Graphics Card.
WinXP(SP1.) Preinstalled on hidden partition.
Things I have tried :
Using System Restore.
Searched Google for any info relating to the above messages - and got results for all - As a result I found the recent RPC Exploit Patch and installed / rebooted. No help got same error again.
Online Trojan Scan (via a hastily installed AOL Free Month :) ) For some reason the two I tried just would not go beyond 'assessing your setup' ... poss. because of the slowness of 56k.
Offline Trojan Scan with program from Wilders.org.
Scanned whole of C Drive - Nothing found.
Full Virus Scan with AVG (with latest updates.)
Ran Hijack This ( Nothing at first sight here - Though I do know how to generate and copy / paste the logfile if that would be helpful - and if its within Board Rules to do that on VDr.)
On my other system (Win98) I have in the past used the Repair IE function - but don't know how to do that in XP as IE is not in my Add / Remove Progs list.
Sorry to post at such length I merely wanted to cover everything so that anyone reading knows exactly what is wrong and what I have attempted to correct it.
Any assistance would be most welcome.
