Hello- I've recently just posted on the Win2000 forum how to remove the w32.blaster.worm (msblast.exe) worm from your computer, where you can get a file to remove traces of the worm, and where you can download the newest Windows update to prevent reinfection. http://www.computing.net/windows2000/wwwboard/forum/50444.html Please note that these instructions were written for Win2000, but should be compatible for NT, 2000, & XP. If you don't feel comfortable following the instructions provided by me, I've added links to symantec, who explains how to remove the worm for all operating systems. Just thought I'd share help on how to fix the problem!
