WhiteKnight77 Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 ZA has kept me clean too. I did a search for the exe last night and came up clean and checked the sys32 folder and it is clean (there is just a drivers folder in it for me.)

Specter Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 A router should protect you from this without a firewall, unless you DMZ the PC. The router will block all ports except the ones you specify to open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruin Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 Microsoft's Patch Can someone please tell me how to get this flipping file? Or perhaps e-mail/MSN it to me? I want it to protect my puter, but I can not get the file. I keep trying but now it's saying there are no updates... :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 Scroll down to where it says Patch Availability. Click on Windows XP 32 Bit. (Since you have XP Home/Prof, cant remember.) On the right of the screen click download. If you still need help, MSN me and Ill send it to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 Found a removal tool here Trying it now. work? It got complicated because when the tool came across the file during its trawl of my HD, my AV proggie immediately kicked it and warned that I had the msblast virus. When the tool stopped, I went to the sys32 folder, and the mblast.exe was still there, but because the tool had disabled it, I was able to delete it manaully.

Specter Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 Just for future reference, anytime you need to DL and use a tool like this, turn off your AV while using it, and anytime you have to do work in the Windows folder or any of the system folders, also turn off AV, as it usually closely guards system files.

Bob The Nailer Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 this was happening to me and luckily i had a friend to call and he looked online and found it in a forum. i run xp 32 bit and he gave me this link. although it took a couple of times because it kept shutting down while i tried, once i did it all was ok. i didn't delete any blast file or anything that i read up above but maybe i should look into that. http://microsoft.com/downloads/details.asp...&displaylang=en Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XavierOnasis Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 Some weasels have taken it upon themselves to make popup ads that have the shutdown window in them. For only a one-time payment of 30 dollars, they will sell you the cure! What's more, these adds cover the whole screen, and there's no way to get rid of them. edit - sorry, wasn't thinking.

firefly2442 Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_100559.htm I guess there's another virus out. Except this one is deleting the blaster virus and applying patches. LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
