Subject: what to do

Hi All --

My cousin recently got a nasty RPC/DCOM worm and she cannot use Windows update because when the RPC is shutdown, SYSTEM automatically initiates a shutdown of the computer as you are all aware of. What is the best solution to keep data files intact while removing this worm? I have tried going to the Registry Run, no entries ar ethere besides legitimate startup stuff. Any suggestions?
