1. CTRL-ALT-DELETE to bring up the Task Manager. Look for msblast.exe and
select it and End Process. This will stop the computer from shutting down.
It doesn't remove the worm.
To enable your firewall :
- Click Start
- Click Control Panel
- Double Click "Network Connections"
- Right-click on your Dial up Connection, then left click 'Properties'
- Left Click 'Advanced' Under "Internet Connection Firewall" tick the box
'Protect my computer and networking by limiting or preventing access to this
computer from the internet'
- Click Ok and Close the "network connections" box.
You can then connect to the Internet and download the Microsoft relevant
patch.
W32.Blaster.Worm patch is available here:-
www.microsoft.com.au/blasterhelp
You must download and install the patch. In many cases, you will need to do
this before you can continue with the removal of the worm.
Because of the way the worm works, it may be difficult to connect to the
Internet to obtain the patch, definitions, or removal tool before the worm
shuts down the computer. It has been reported that, for users of Windows XP,
activating the Windows XP firewall may allow you to download and install the
patch, obtain virus definitions, and run the removal tool. This may also
work with other firewalls, although this has not been confirmed.
2. You can download the Symantec Removal Tool from here
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.blaster.worm.removal.tool.html
or you can visit this site to assist in the removal of the worm
