Removing autostart entries from the registry prevents the malware from executing during startup.

Open Registry Editor. To do this, click Start>Run, type Regedit, then press Enter.
In the left panel, double-click the following:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>Software>Microsoft>
Windows>CurrentVersion>Run
In the right panel, locate and delete the entry:
”windows auto update" = MSBLAST.EXE
Close Registry Editor.

Do not forget to clean the reg and make sure you run an online virus scan or just a scan after you cleaned the virus. XP machines and server 03 will have reboot issues if you do not run an antivirus after the cleaning procedure.

Go here for an online scan:

Hit the scan now link.

Used the blast fix 40 times today Asher raw but it works well.

Between four stores we fixed 76 machines today, tomorrow will be busier I bet.

Do you still hate French people Blacktide?

Hmm ... so is this virus going to launch some sort of massive attack on MS come Saturday from machines that haven't been cleaned?

2. The Washington Post thing is good. But it lies. The msblast is a process not an application. You have to go to applications to kill it.

3. I'm scared to do the Firewall part so I'm blowing that off.

4. I tried (before Washington Post) going to windows update but that doesn 't work. If anything it triggers the shutdown.
