worm

[Dami]

I fix the RPC problem i had with my computer and now i
downloaded norton anti virus and it's telling me i have a
virus in teh msblast.exe file. I tried deleting it from
my files so i came download a patch but it's telling me
it cannot be deleted due to files running, which as far
as i know i close it. Any suggestions? Thank you. Dami

Ya, Thanks for looking around alittle before posting ;)

If the computer is constantly rebooting, quickly go to:
Start > Run and type: shutdown -a , and hit enter.

This should halt the rebooting problem. (Thanks Nicholas)

"Go Offline after you download the patch and either print this info or copy
and paste it to word patch"
