Way off topic but you might look into ad-aware & also spybot search &
destroy.

Please do not contact me directly or ask me to contact you directly for
assistance.

If your question is worth asking, it's worth posting.

If it’s not worth posting you should have done a search on
http://www.google.com/ http://www.google.com/grphp?hl=en&tab=wg&q= or
http://news.google.com/froogle?hl=en&tab=nf&ned=us&q= before wasting our
time.

This isn't the correct newsgroup for this question, since Microsoft's
Broadband Networking hardware and software is supported here, but have you
tried using System Restore (if you're on Windows XP) to go back to a Restore
Point prior to your errant installation?

You may also want to thoroughly check your system with your anti-virus
software running the latest definitions, and check www.aumha.org/secure.htm
for information about hijackings, parasites and other malware. If you have
additional questions, you can ask them in the security forum on the site.

I have already tried norton antivirus 2004, adaware, system restore, and
spybot. I have determined that the problem doesn't exist in virus's or
spyware it is simply a problem with the file that controls the rpc server has
been rewriten by a program that was obviously meant for another OS. So, i
guess the question really is how do i re-write the rpc server files in-order
to fix this problem?

Use a Restore Point from System Restore to go back to when it worked.
