    | I am unable to get rid of the Blasrer Worm from my
    | computer. Here are the things I did to get rid of it:
    | 1. Clean up the hard disc; deleted the entire content and
    | reinstalled the Win XP and other things to run the
    | computer.
    | 2. Installed and run McAffee antivirus soft for 2 weeks,
    | scanning a number of times.
    | 3. Installed Norton antivirus software and scanned a
    | number of times.
    | 4. Blaster virus pops up even while I run the antivirus
    | software during internet sessions.
    | 5. Microsoft, finally , asked me to send the 'Error
    | Report' and identied 2 files that are causing the Blaster.
    | 6. These 2 files are not retrievable, at least by me, and
    | I do not know how to proceed the process of eliminating
    | the worm.
    |
    | Is there anyone to help?
    |
    | I even considered installing a new hard disc. Compusa and
    | other commercial establishments wants me to bring in the
    | computer; they charge me $49.95.
    |
    | I would appreciate any help.
