I have installed xp in my computer and it is updated automatically.
Sometimes when I open the system I get the following error message.
===
Windows must restart now because the DCOM Server Process Launcher Service terminated unexpectedly.
===
the system then restarts automatically.
It is not happening always, only sometimes.
What could be the reason?
a trojan /virus
