(fix) MAXBLASTER (Auto-reboot) FIX!

[Corey R.]

does your computer reboot 5 minutes after use? Then you
probably have the maxblaster virus.

First you will need to stop your computer from rebooting,
and a virus scan can NOT do this.

To stop your computer from rebooting, do this:
GO to "Start" menu.
GO to "Run".
Type "MSCONFIG".
Click "Startup" tab.
If you see something called "Maxblaster", uncheck it.
Click Apply, Ok, Reboot your system.

Now your computer won't reboot.

Now get your virus scan up to date, do a Full System Scan
and get rid of that nasty virus!

If you don't firewall your system, it will be back within the hour.
