BLASTER WORM

[myriam galaviz]

I have the worm but it is impossible for me to download
the update because as soon as I start my computer another
screen shows up saying that I have 50 seconds remaining.
What can I do to fix my computer?

Thanks,

[Cheryl Fischer]

As soon as your computer reboots again and when Windows finishes loading,
click the Start button, then select Run. Type the following into the
dialog box:

shutdown -a (then click OK, or press Enter)

You must kill the MSBlast.exe process (see Task Manager) first.
Also try to enable any Firewalls as well.

Start the RUN dialog and type in "shutdown -a". Then you should be able to
get online and get rid of the virus: goto
