new blaster variant?

[sixwheeler]

I have the same problem and I have found that u can not
remove it w/add delete programs..Keep the firewall on and
filter all and do not let any more access even off line as
it seems to ust the printer ports. My post is right above
yours. Our problem is an exe.program that starts when u
start your
puter.
