A woman in my shop was getting the same message.  She rebooted her machine
and that seems to have eliminated it, at least for now.

there is a RPC vulnerability in all versions of windows...
it stands for
Remote
 Procedure
  Call

and one can format *your* hard drive remotely!!!  Your pc was probably
patched, or invaded.

I'd check around ...  your sysadmins may have enforced a security policy
(good)
*they* may have hacked you (bad)
