Please download a removal tool from AVG, Symantec, SARC, Trend Micro, etc. and run it to eliminate the W32.Blaster virus/worm from your PC. Then restart. After restarting IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! go to Microsoft's site and download the patch. If you let this worm stay on your computer and continue to use your computer - you will lose data!!! Again, if you ignore this and keep using your machine - you will lose data!!! I have seen it happen!! If you cannot do the removal get a professional to do it for you. If you cannot access the internet borrow a friend's PC and download the tool. The Symantec FixBlast tool works fine. A link is posted to George Washington University that will give you step by step instructions (Blaster removal).
If you have sat on your dead ass and not updated your virus definitions then guess who is at fault? You as in Y-O-U. How many times have I warned up in here about updating virus definitions? Anyone running AVG that has done the updates will not get this latest intrusion on their PC. My network has an uber router, an uber switch, a cable modem and I run ZoneAlarm. Even with this protection, ALL my Windows PCs have AVG and are updated every day. Some may think me harsh, but updating virus definitions is like brushing your teeth! It has to be done. Peace out, the pseudogeek must attend to kidneystones...
Part of the inhumanity of the computer is that, once it is competently programmed and working smoothly, it is completely honest.
Isaac Asimov (1920 - 1992)
