eblast

[Helen]

How can I delete the eblast application when it I get a
message that it cannot be deleted because it is in use. I
can delete the eblast.exe but not the application.

Are you referring to msblast or one of the Blaster Worm variants?

If so, Go to Start | Run | enter "taskmgr". When Task Manager launches,
click the "Processes" tab, locate the file called msblast.exe in the left
column "Image Name", click it once, then click the End Process button on the
bottom. When it disappears from the list, go delete msblast.exe from your
system.

More information on the Blaster Worm is below.
