I am having a problem getting rid of tbe blaster work on
my windows xp. I try to apply the patch from microsoft
and I get an error message saying setup could not verify
the integrity of the file update. Make sure the
cyrptographic service is running. Does anyone know what I
can do to install it. After it is installed I have a
Norton Virus tool to remove the virus and fix the registry
but it will not work until that patch is applied.
 
How To Fix The Cryptographic Service Error
Special thanks to Marc Liron for the following:
Are YOU getting the following error when you try to install Windows XP
Service Pack 1?
"Service Pack 1 Setup Error:
Setup could not verify the integrity of the file Update.inf. Make sure the
Cryptographic service is running on this computer"
Or
YOU are trying to install the Windows XP security patch 823980 - in
response to the msblast.exe worm and you are getting a similar error
message.

Hi Gregg,

Run the first script to correct the error message, then run the second
script to remove msblast, it will also prompt you for the patch download.

Correct the Cryptographic Service Error Message (Line 266)

Close Windows Explorer, run the edit on line 257 which includes the prompt
for the patch once your system has been cleaned. This script removes all
variants of the W32.Blaster.Worm (original, b and c) and will inform you
whether or not the patch is already installed.
