Blaster Fix Now Slower PC

[Shane Clays]

Some time ago, my PC was infected with the MS Blaster
Virus. I tried to get it with an anti virus software, but
when I ran it, it would not delete the msblaster exec
file so I did a search, found it and deleted it manually.
Although my system is now running without the standard
msblaster virus symptoms, it does run much much slower
than before I deleted that particular exec file. Any
ideas why this may be and what I may be able to do to fix
it?? Thanks in advance.

Hi Shane,

Run this script to be sure all of the remnants are gone:

You may have others installed as well, run the Startup Tracker from here:
And read the log file.

Other measures to consider: Run all of them. It takes more than one to
clean a system.
