Story: Cleaning up after the MSBlast worm
Posted by: Anonymous (Wednesday 13 August 2003, 6:40 AM)
your system should be fine if you disconnect from your campus network, start your computer in 'safe' or 'diagnostic' mode, and then install the microsoft patch from a CD. just in case you don't know how to start in this mode click start, run, and type "msconfig" into the box. Next select the 'general' tab and select the proper startup option under startup options. sometimes this must be done quickly because the worm will shut down your system if you take too long. the patch that worked for me was called "WindowsXP-KB823980-x86-ENU.exe". a google search on this should bring up the applicable download site at microsoft.com, so download it on an uninfected PC, copy it to portable storage media, and if all goes well you'll be just fine.
