    When I was checking out my Services, I noticed that Remote Procedure Call (RPC) was "started" and set to "automatic" as the startup type. That in itself would not bother me. But I noticed a profile was set up under hardware profile and that a password was set. This worries me a lot. I never set a password for RPC. ((I attached a screenshot of what I'm looking at in case my description here is confusing)). I do have a router set up for other computers which are wirelessly connected to this computer. I just want to know if this is normal or if you have any advice.

    This password is set for the RPC as an encryption key it is part of the RPC process.
