seriously sorry though :(
Something rather strange has started going on with my copy of Windows. Only a few days ago, I started randomly getting dialog boxes stating that the Remote Procedure Call had failed and that I should log off and restart, and it had a timer that counted down before it restarted by itself. In an attempt to stop it from forcing a restart, I changed the response to its failure in the computer management console from 'Restart the Computer' to 'Take No Action'. I didn't see any more RPC failure dialogs, as I expected, but then I started getting some really screwy issues. The first thing I noticed was that I couldn't copy and paste files in explorer. I later noticed that I couldn't drag files, in any program. Then a number of programs I regularly use started taking a long time to load (at least 5-10 minutes) and had some weird behavior: Nero gave an 'Invalid Handle' error when trying to copy files to a compilation (Ctrl+1), WinRar took ~15 minutes to open an 'Extract To' dialog, others just hung in random spots, restarting Windows took 10 minutes as opposed to 1, etc. And after a full restart (but not logging off & back on), the problems weren't present, but after just a few minutes they returned just the same as before.
Edit: It's all because of that damn Msblast virus. Bastards!
Sorry for creating another topic about it. :rolleyes:
i think you should read this post http://www.klboard.ath.cx/index.php?showtopic=61215
and this site http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcen...moval.tool.html
Sorry to tell you but you have the W32/Msblast virus.update your virus defs you should find msblast.exe in windows system32. just delete the file and restart your computer. I also got hit with this yesterday. Also use microsofts update website and apply the proper patches too prevent this happening in the future.
Its not as easy as that!!Quote:

but u may be lucky
oh not not anothe one hit by the MSBLAST!! :lol:
Dammit! I read some of the other posts about Msblast just now. Funny, I manually disabled a lot of the unneccessary services, including the WU service. Oh well, at least I know that XP sucks in a completely different way than I thought it did. <_<
its not XP the problem
also 200 and NT4 as well suffer from this bastard
jus read this on neowin
If your having problems installing the patch within the 60 sec, when you see the window pop up telling you 60 sec, Go to Start, Run and type in shutdown -a. This will cancel the shutdown attempt. Thanks Sub for this tip!
Hmm...
I didnt have any shutdown probs, only the (CAN COPY AGAIN YAY)
(
What does the virus do...
Cant copy + paste
Cant cut + paste
Cannot drag files
Cannot disconnect using system tray and network area once your on the internet.
Uses you computer to launch DOS attacks
A few websites do NOT work
It slows your internet down by at LEAST 50%
Cant use search (try F3 not sure if working.)
##
Cant find the registry keys (Not in run, searching for msblast.exe)
How do I remove it, I cant friggin dl the damned files on that removal site etc...
)
I got it removed, had somone send me the windows 2000 pro english patch, then it died...
What if my home computer was infected and i burend a file that was infected then I used the cd on the network at school and now the school computers and laptops are having the same problems did i do it (like i care lol)
That's funny, as long as your home computer isn't hurt then it's okQuote:

I would laugh, but I almost got fired when I got my company's whole network virused by the anna kournicova virus :(
You people must be foolz....that's why we have this problem today...users not caring about who or what they infect. well, what goes around will finally hit you too, and hopefully shut you down for good :rtfm:

go to this site if u think u have the virus its a program just made for this virus worm and can take it out easily!
Thank-you, all. :) I do not have this virus (yet) however at least now I have a floppy with everything (I hope) necessary to combat it should my system fall victim to it. :unsure:
What do u download to get this?
The virus itself?..
Just about damn-near anything from any site. P2P users are especially at risk because of the shear amount of data that normally flows to and from their systems in the form of the files they...uh... share.
At any rate, just browse through each page of this thread and you will get an idea of how it is spreading based upon what other users have already explained.
I've got an idea for these virus maker "studs". Why don't you make a virus which are directed toward SPAM servers, which will at least help out in that area, and not just pick on poor ol' Bill and his followers -- us.
lol my university network was infected by "something". I didnt get the full news but I bet it was this virus.... Everyone was kicked out the lab and the ppl started trying to fix it.... lol i bet none uses this board ;)
Either way...its weird cuz the server is linux (think debian, or devian) but all the computers connect thru win xp...
who knows lol, but i guess its funny :D
DWk
is windows 98 imune from this virus?
yeah i would like to know also!Quote:

No windows 98 is fine cannot get afeected
good old windows 98, ive never had any problems with it
cool nice i'm not being affected! Oh well I just installed ZoneAlarm 4 Pro and have Norton Systemworks 2003 so I hope that will help protect me from other viruses knowing they will probaly will make a Win98 version of the Msblast virus.Quote:

you guys don't know how you got infected? you don't know which infected file you've downloaded?
the guy who wrote this damn virus is a real genius!!! from what i've read, i understood that YOU DON'T HAVE TO DOWNLOAD ANYTHING to get infected!!! so how do you get infected?
there's a script (portscan) that searches a range of I.P. numbers for open ports, in this case, 145 and 2 more, i don't remember well.
and guess what, if you have a not updated windows xp/2000/nt, you're in trouble.
if you have windows xp/2000/nt and a firewall software that is not updated, guess what? you're in trouble!!!
if you have windows xp/2000/nt, a firewall software and a NORTON ANTIVIRUS updated every wednesday (that's when symantec releases their weekly update for automatic live update), YOU'RE IN TROUBLE!!!! hell, i update my NAV every wednesday and this sh!t has just caught me!!! i also have NORTON INTERNET (IN)SECURITY (updated every wednesday too) and that sh!t has just caught me!!!
imo, the key is: become paranoid and check windows update everyday, update your antivirus software everyday, and update your firewall software everyday.
and this kind of thing makes me think: was it worth every penny paid for Norton AntiVirus Professional? does symantec deserve every cent i paid for Norton Internet Security??? thank godness I DO HAVE A PIRATED OS!!! now, do you think i'll buy my next license for updating NORTON definitions??? :lol:
EDIT
if you cannot stay connected time enough to download a removal tool, do the following:
block access to ports 145, 69 and 4444.
click the start button => run... and type regedit.exe
go to hkey_local machine => software => microsoft => windows => currentversion => run and delete the microsoft windows update entry
restart your computer
go to your %windir%\system32 directory and delete the file named msblast.exe
download the removal tool linked above, run it, then update your windows, antivirus, firewall, kazaa lite, icq, notepad... :lol:
EDIT2
This is what the damn virus do:
http://www.ehnoismemu.kit.net/it_does_the_following.gif
That's all I had to do, was delete the file and restart, that's it! The purpose of this virus is to flood Microsoft this Saturday, not destroy your files. You should have no problems getting rid of this virus. When i was hit by this my virus scanner didn't even pick it up, I noticed the file in my windows task manager before my computer could shut down. It wasn't untill a couple of hours later that my virus definitions, were ready for this virus. So it's not like my virus scanner disinfected the file, I just deleted it and restarted. Sorry to hear that alot of people are having some bad luck with this.Quote:

All OS others than Windows XP and Windows 2000 is safe.

Yeah, this is f***ed-up. I just upgraded from Win98 to XP (finally). I am positive that I did NOT have this virus two days ago, because the last thing I did was check my running processes with msconfig. Then after installation completed, I went to Windows Update and installed 28(!) updates. I also downloaded drivers for my sound card (from Gateway and Creative's websites) and for my scanner (from Driverguide.com). Then things started getting sluggish, and my comp kept rebooting without warning. I ran msconfig again and sure enough, there was msblast.exe! Luckily I caught it and removed it before it did any damage. Now I just wish I knew exactly where I got it from. :(
to get rid of this virus just go
to RUN
TYPE ''MSCONFIG''
DISABLE ALL PROGRAM ON STARTUP
RESTART YOUR MACHINE
APPLY THE SYMANTEC FIX BLAST EXE
DOWNLOAD AND APPLY MICROSOFT FIX
MSBLAST.EXE IS NO MORE!!
at least if you disable all program in msconfig on startup you dont need to worry about the 60 secs to apply the patch
hopefully this will help
ace
is'nt a virus. Harmless fucker.
Its a popup that says that microsoft sucks.
No big deal............ :lol:

*sigh* the windows NT code is so troublesome :( but I don't want to go back to 9x code maybe Billy gates SHOULD stop making money and fix it's NT code
damm Lunix servers probaly
small question. While I know that MSBlast shouldn't be able to hit a 98se computer, anyone know why the hell my computer would be locking up for a minute or so from time to time? (I think it might just be the old system lag striking back in a different way. Before I got my new hard-drive...again, (last one died a good couple weeks ago, head-drive crash.) the computer would at times get jumpy. The mouse cursor would skip frames, things loading would take longer then normal, and mp3s would distort. That's what I mean by system lag. Now at times for no apparent reason, the computer will lock up, and explorer.exe or some other file will say it is not responding. I can move the mouse, winamp and alt+tabing work, but the start menu is lagged, internet explorer can just be a bunch of white screen (though opera will still work fine usually) and mostly any non M$ software will still work normally. After a minute or two the computer will catch up and the start menu'll open and close about three times.) Just wondering what would cause that.
I got this email from my provider this morning (a bit late to my opnion)
Yes it's Dutch sorry!
Geachte Wanadoo-abonnee,
Het LoveSan-virus, waarvoor deze week werd gewaarschuwd,
is wereldwijd al op honderdduizenden computers aangetroffen.
LoveSan, ook wel MSBlaster en Blaster genoemd, slaat toe op
pc's waarop het besturingsprogramma Microsoft Windows
geïnstalleerd is.
Omdat het virus via een bepaalde poort de pc binnenkomt, is
Wanadoo gestart met het filteren van deze poort. Abonnees die
inbellen of via de kabel internetten lopen hierdoor minder
risico geïnfecteerd te worden door het virus. Helaas is Wanadoo
niet in staat alle connecties te beveiligen, waardoor abonnees met
een ADSL-verbinding nog steeds kwetsbaar zijn. Waar mogelijk
installeert Wanadoo filters om dit tot een minimum te beperken.
Om er zeker van te zijn dat uw computer beveiligd is, kunt u
op http://www.microsoft.nl een patch downloaden. Bent u al
besmet, ga dan naar http://www.bitdefender.com om het virus
weer te verwijderen.
Ga voor het laatste nieuws over dit virus naar
http://www.wanadoo.nl.
We hopen u hiermee voldoende te hebben geïnformeerd.
Met vriendelijke groet,
Wanadoo
without it sounding like "I told you so", but why don’t you guys apply the MS Critical updates, impractically the one that came out a month ago that protected you against this venerability?
just thought there is probably some people who have reasons for not doing it?
sam
ha, the worm dosen't effect me (win me) but still I get so many dam kernel 32 errors
