msblast.exe

[Guest]

I found the msblast.exe showing in the startup pane of the system config.
utility. I unchecked box next to it and went to the registry editor trying to
find entry but I could not find anything(local
machine\software\microsoft\windows\current version\run). Also I tried to
seach the msblast.exe in system32 folder come with nothing. I even run the
Win32/msblast.exe removal tool from Symantec to clean my computer(windowXP
pro), In the end it said: your computer is not infected. So, could anybody
tell me why i still see msblast.exe in system config. utility under the
startup tag? where is this file? My computer works ok and no infected
symptoms. I just do not understand what the msblast.exe is doing in the
startup config. Can I ever get rid of it? Please help.

Hi,

Look under this key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupreg

Download Hijack this, run it, save a copy of the log file and cut and paste
it back here to this group so that I can analyze it.Ignore anyone who tells
you to post it elsewhere. I need to see it not them.

Why not just have them mail it direct to you?

If it's just a leftover entry, then HJT isn't going to show it. It only
shows what is actively loading, I suspect this is just a dead entry that
needs to be removed.

Surely a knowledgeable fella like yourself has more than one email

Thanks Rick. I followed key you mentioned in regedit and found the data
value was just msblast.exe dangling at nowhere. It was deleted at last. I
don't know very much about the registry sort of stuff and really appreaciate
your help.

Hi pcbutts1, I have run Hijackthis (before I delete the reg entry for
msblast.exe) the log did not show msblast.exe anywhere, so I don't see the
need to post the log here. I appreaciate your point of view and help. Thanks
again.

Well, if you're so good as to be able to monitor 10, maybe you should get an
11th for this purpose, hmm?

=)

Glad you got it sorted.
