I do not know how to get the virus off of my pc, I have
tried downloading the patch with no luck at all. Any
suggestions?
Thanks
Try these instructions:
1. Get the Blaster removal script from MVP Kelly Theriot's web site:
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/regs_edits/msblast.vbs
2. Get the Microsoft patch from
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;823980#WinXP
If possible do the first two steps on an uninfected computer and copy
the downloaded files to a 3.5 inch diskette (they will both fit on the
same 1.44 mb diskette) or burn them to a CD
3. Disconnect from the Internet. Unplug Cable/DSL modem if you have
one. That prevents reinfection during the time interval between
running the script and the completion of the patch installation.
4. Run the script.
5. Install the patch.
6. Activate the Internet Connection Firewall in Windows XP
7. Reconnect to the Internet. Update your antivirus software and do
a complete scan.
8. Go to the Windows Update and get all repeat all of the critical
updates for your computer.
Good luck
