Well, that would keep them from getting infected, but they obviously already
ARE infected.
When the message (Blaster I am Assuming) comes up telling you it is going to
shutdown in 60 seconds, act fast:
WindowsKey+R or Start->Run
type in the following:
shutdown /a
and press enter or click ok. This will abort the shutdown in progress..
Then get that Antivirus software updated, get that machine patched, run the
MSBlaster and Welchia fix utilities from Symantec.com, scan it for
spyware/adware and turn on and leave on that firewall.
You will also have to turn off system restore, reboot, and then turn it back
on.
Hey this happens to me to. A block appears and gives me
60 secs til it shuts down my computer. How do I stop
this?? Please let me know. Thanks. (e-mail address removed)
If you've connected the PC to the Internet without having first
enabling a firewall, without having first installed an antivirus
application with current virus definition files, and/or before
installing the KB824146 Hotfix, you're very likely to have been
infected from any of the thousands of PCs on the Internet that are
constantly broadcasting the Blaster and/or Welchia worms. It only
takes a few seconds of exposure.
To stay on-line long enough to get the necessary updates, patches,
and removal tools, click Start > Run, and enter "shutdown -a" when the
next RPC countdown begins. This will abort the shut down. Also, make
sure you've enabled a firewall before starting, to preclude any more
intrusions while getting the updates/patches/tools.
You can have peace. Or you can have freedom. Don't ever count on
having both at once. -- RAH
