When or if you get the shutdown message...

Go to; Start --> Run
enter; shutdown -a

This will halt the shutdown and give you a chance to Download the McAfee worm removal tool,
Stinger: http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/ or the Microsoft Lovsan/Blaster and Nachi/Welchia
Removal Tool
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=E70A0D8B-FE98-493F-AD76-BF673A38B4CF&displaylang=en
and install the following patch for the RPC/RPCSS Buffer Overflow Vulnerability that is
addressed by Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-39 http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=824146

Please read: http://www.microsoft.com/security/incident/blast.asp

You also need a FireWall. If you don't patch the PC and not use a FireWall then you will
just be re-infected.

I also suggest the installation of *ALL* MS Critical Updates ASAP.

| I have tried to download the blaster worm patch, but

| MS03-026 or MS03-039. So I have looked for those and
| have downloaded MS03-039, but the worm doesn't let me

| it lets the program run for maybe 15 seconds then just
| closes it without warning, this is the same thing that

| download the Blaster Worm Removal Kit and hence the crux
| of my problem!!!! I have to get this worm fixed by
| wednesday evening or I am in loads of trouble!!!
| ANYONE who can help please email me at

| but preferrably I would like an email.
| I am at my wits end!!!!!!!!!!
