"I have the MSBlast Virus/Worm/Thing...help?!?!?"

It is p*****g me off no end. I have enabled it so it doesn't run when my computer starts up but how do I delete the lil bugga? DO any of you know? Any help is muchly appreciated:D

Is that not like an old virus, the thing was out about three months ago, just check microsofts website.

That Tool is what i used, but you should enable the firewall which comes with XP!
I did that and have not received it for about Two Days!

Apparently my computer is now entirely free from the worm/virus/thin so now I am just hoping the computer doesn't shut down to re-affirm that diagnosis. THanks for the help:D

Did it work?

I know a good link when i see one ;-)

Now that's insulting.
Buck finding it.

I've enabled it but didn't restart my computer so it may still be running. Hmm. I'll just wait and see. Thanks again though.
