w32.blaster.worm just won't die ive removed it off of my pc 6 times with symantec removel tool. after i run the scan its says w32.blaster.worm has been removed from ur pc..... then sometimes a day or two or even 2hours later it comes back again and it says the usuall

windows must terminate because of the win NT auterisation or somthing like this then my pc restarts it's self

its driving me mad :frusty: :frusty: :frusty:

sorry four the spelling :)

how about installing the fix for msblaster off the update site. ;)

and a decent firewall would probably help bigtime. zonealarm (http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/home.jsp) is easy to use if you have not used a firewall before.

Check NAI for removal instructions.

Did you turn off system restore? Are you using XP? If so, it'll just come back. You also need the patch, then it won't affect your system even if it's on it.
Windows Update, friend. Then use this:
DCOMbobulator (http://grc.com/dcom/) and shut off DCOM forever!!!

Then try an anti-virus worth using. AVG (http://www.grisoft.com) <_<

To be sure, check your start-up registry and delete MSBlast. That will at least stop it from starting up.
