Worm virus, Ran fix & still having problem.

[Rudder]

I ran the fix for the worm virus and still having the problem with the shut
down. I cant stay online long enough to down load the security patch. Also
my Norton virus checker is now screwed up. It wont let me enable the auto
protect. When they catch these hackers they should cut there balls off and
shove them down there throat!

This will get you going long enough to to download the fix from
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/FixBlast.exe

1. Click Start, and then click Run. (The Run dialog box appears.)
2. Type regedit
3. Then click OK. (The Registry Editor opens.)
4. Navigate to the key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

In the right pane, delete the value:
"windows auto update"="msblast.exe"

5. Exit the Registry Editor.

and then

1. To end the Trojan process:
2. Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete once.
3. Click Task Manager.
4. Click the Processes tab.
5. Double-click the Image Name column header to alphabetically sort the
processes.
6. Scroll through the list and look for msblast.exe.
7. If you find the file, click it, and then click End Process.
8. Exit the Task Manager.

Good Luck

I don't know about you, but I'm making a killing fixing these problems ;-)

These hacker idiots are only making Microsoft stronger by constantly
hammering on their products. If they really wanted to cause problems,
they'd be a lot more subtle about it and just degrade performance slightly
or intermittantly delete files etc.

Just because your PC shuts down doesn't actually mean you have the virus.
Go to service and then find the RPC service. Open it and go to the recovery
tab and change all of the responses to Restart Service. This may allow you
enought time to get the fix from microsoft's website.

I dont know if this is your problem but i recieved a nt
administrator is shutting your computer down in 60 second
because rpc shut down unexpectedly.....
message right after statup so i had no time to look for
proper downloads...or fixes until after I

went to control pannel....
administrative tool services.....
services....
scrolled down to remote proced (RPC)
right clicked (the one with the manual setting)
and changed it to auto
apply or ok and restarted.
that worked for me afterword i loaded all microsofts
updates so hopefully that fixed it


what was interesting is I got that message 5 minutes
after a fresh install and then got about 1 min 45 seconds
to fix it before the auto reboot kicked in hope this helps
