Blaster Worm

TYCOON · 09-April-04, 06:12 PM

How do you get rid of it, somehow on a new install I already have it, for something that has affected so many computers its hella hard to find how to remove and patch it.

Can someone post some links quick

Edit: some hyperlinks like www.google.ca wont work for me for whatever reason making it even harder to update my computer and get rid of this.

If you can get to the symantec website there is a free tool on there that will take care of you.

If you cant get to their website PM me your email addy and ill send you the program. But since its a new instal cant you just reinstall again?

I thought this blaster thing was something that took advantage of some flaws in windows xp that needed to be patched? Or is it a virus? Because after a fresh win xp install I had it too and needed to do the patch etc.

Cassemodder when i try to install that i get that error, you would think with over 1.5 million computers infected with this there would be a big ****ing red button on the microsoft homepage that says "FIX BLASTER WORM" instead im playing follow the white rabbit. Like wtf...

That's why when you do a fresh install you should do a backup of all the programs and patches before even trying to go on the internet. Since your still on a new install ynot just reformat again and patch it up + install service pack 1 Then download anti-virus defs. That's what i do all the time & i have never got affected yet

...and heaven help you! ive ne er known blaster infected that quickly. Id agree with ^^^. You need a fresh install. The order of installing i do is this:

-win xp
-norton systemworks (+antivirus)
-norton internet secturity
-office xp
-photo editing software
-Ultities (cd burning, dvd playing)
- internet updates

that way i have interent security ready for any little bugger that tries, and norton update is the first to be updated.
