MSBlast.exe

[Nightwolf]

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(&#33 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

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?
