Default Removal of MSBlaster worm virus from undo.cab files

I have two files in the undo.cab section of my computer. Norton Antivirus
identified the virus but was unable to repair, quarantine, or delete the
files. I used Symantec's MSBlaster worm removal tool and Microsoft's removal
tool, to no avail. Surely there must be a way to remove these files without
having to wipe the entire disk. Desperately seeking knowledgeable help!

Default Removal of MSBlaster worm virus from undo.cab files

You keep getting Blaster because you have no firewall, enable/install
a firewall IMMEDIATELY:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=283673

Turn off/on System Restore to delete corrupted files:
Start/All Programs/Accessories/System Tools/System Restore.
Click System Restore Settings on left side.
Check "Turn off System Restore", click OK, follow prompts and reboot.
This deletes ALL Restore Points including corruption.
Then go back and turn on system Restore and create a Restore Point.
