See the following method of dealing with it (courtesy of Kelly)

To stop the reboots: Go to Start/Run and type in: services.msc. Scroll
down to Remote Procedure Call (RPC)/Recovery/First Failure/Restart the
Service.

Close Windows Explorer, run the edit on line 257 which includes the
prompt for the patch once your system has been cleaned.

This script removes all variants of the W32.Blaster.Worm (original, B,
C, D, E and F) and will inform you whether or not the patch is already
installed.
