Well, I got blaster virus in my system today. But I am unable to stop or
remove it.

When I click ctrl+Alt+Del to get to Windows Task manager, there is NO
MSBlast or anything like it in the "Process".
However, in the "Application" there is a "System Shutdown". I am unable to
stop it by "end process".
I ran the Symantec's fixblast.exe tool 1.0.6.1 and it did NOT find the
virus.
I ran the Microsoft W32.MSBlaster patch, it did NOT fix or stop the virus.
I run services.msc and found "Remote Recovery Call (RPC)"., but I when I
right click, no "properties".
I am able to start this RPC, but the Blaster still keep ticking.

When I boot from XP CD disc to recovery console, I am unable to access any
other folder such as "Documents and Settings" to look or remove for this
virus. Can you tell me where and how?

Appreciate your help.
