process. Then turn on the xp firewall.
To turn on the firewall: control panel, network and internet connections,
network connections, right click your connection, properties, advanced tab,
check the protect my computer box. Do this as quickly as you can once the

If you are receiving a message that the sytem will shut down in 60 seconds,
and then counts it down, you most likely are infected with the Blaster worm.
Do a Google search on this group for Blaster and/or go to your favorite
Anti-Virus provider's site for instructions on how to remove it and protect
yourself.
