Yoda_623 Posted August 31, 2003 Share Posted August 31, 2003 You can do this too. 1.) Go to start menu 2.) Run 3.) Type msconfig 4.) then go to the Start Up tab on the right 5.) There will be a file called msblast (that is the worm) 6.) It will have a check mark in the box. Remove the check mark by clickign on the box the press ok at the bottom 7.) When it ask u to restart click yes restart now That fix's it. You will notice that the file msblast is no longer in your start up registry when u go back in to msconfig.

Huz Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 Originally posted by ZBomber I doubt it. Its probably a Local thing. how long has it been doing this? No, Reclaimer's right for once. The problem described is exactly what happens if you have the MS Blaster worm. Wot 2 do: 1) Go to Windows Update (in the Tools menu in IE) and download and install all the Critical Updates. 2) Get and use this. Dun. Hopefully.

After that, there wa sno possible way of getting it. The way he sounds, it seems like this was recent, like 2 days ago. AN dI thoguht your PC was not supposed to work after August 19th or whatever.

Tyrion Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 Originally posted by [RAA]-=K1ngPin=- Hey Yoda whats up with your sig its broadcasting IPs, change it please. Dont worry, it doesnt do any harm. It only displays the I.P. of your own computer to only yourself, not to anyone else. So there's no privacy problems or something. As you can see,I also went with that trend. Before him too,I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Torque Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 Or if it aint the virus. Try conatacting your internet pervider. Maybe there is a problem with your connection. Or since you are getting that shutdown message. I agreee that you should do a windows update:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraZy_B Posted September 1, 2003 Author Share Posted September 1, 2003 Thank you all for your support. I have deleted the virus long ago but I think it adjusted the RPC. I had to recalibrate that and everything is fine now:D . Thank you all for your helpfulness! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
