If you are certain you don't need RPC access (which many don't), simply drop a windows firewall (or a replacement you might have in place) entry in to block it. Port 139
Port 139 is the NetBIOS session service. The RPC port mapper is listening on port 135/tcp, the actual RPC connections are established on ports between 1025 and 5000 (49152 and 65535 on Vista and above). See MSKB article 832017 [1] for an overview of the port requirements for Windows. Like I said: do not mess with it unless you have a clear understanding of what it does (and how it works). RPC is required for many kinds of remote management.
