Hi Mark,
Steps 1-6 below will stop the computer restarting. You
can then take your time and install SP3 or 4 and the
hotfix.
1. Start your computer but DO NOT connect to the
internet.
2. Click on the Start Menu and then click on Run.
Enter services.msc and hit enter.
3. Scroll down to the 'Remote Procedure Call(RPC)'
line and double click on it.
4. Click on the 'Recovery' tab. Change First, Second
and subsequent failues from 'Reboot the computer'
to 'Take no Action'
5. Click 'OK' and then close the services window.
6. Now restart the computer
7. Connect to the internet, either go to
www.microsoft.com and download the MSBlast critical patch
manually or go to windowsupdate.microsoft.com and
download all critical updates. N.B. for windows 2000 you
must already be running service pack 3 for windows.
8. Install the patch and let it restart the
computer.
9. Go to www.symantec.com or similar and download
their MSBlast Virus removal tool. Run this and let it
delete the virus.
10. You should now be clear of the virus and unable
to be infected again.
These instructions were written in a hurry so I can't
guarantee everything is 100%.
Hope this helps.
