TFTP3708 error message

[Jan Folwer]

When I boot up I get a windows error dialog box that
contains the TFTP3708.exe program error. How can I get
rid of this box. It appeared right after I got infected
with the Blast worm on 8/13/2003.

I searched the registry and can not find it.

I have seen this error related to the new (and quite
popular) W32.Blaster.Worm. You need to follow the
instructions to remove this worm from your computer.
What is actually happening is that your computer is
trying to use TFTP to send/receive the worm to/from
another computer.

Here is a good starting point:

They have the latest information about the Blaster Worm
and all of its variants. If you feel uncomfortable
removing this virus, you may be better off taking it to a
local computer store/repair center.
