    Ok, so I got lazy and decide to just post a new topic instead of reaking 12 pages of old topics...
    I think one of my friends has what is called "blaster" virus. As soon as she logs in, the computer shuts down, and if it does let her in, it's only for a few minutes (then shuts down). Oh and a black dialogue box shows up for a brief moment. Since I have never before dealt with this, I don't know if that is truly what it is, or if it's is a look alike.... Like leonardo d'caprio to a bluegill. Lets say it is (the real thing). How would I go about getting rid of it once I'm in safemode? I imagine it is as easy as running an antivirus, or maybe even a system restore. However (comma) I don't think they have an antivirus installed. I might be able to boot from my disk, but what results would that have? Any help?

    Thanx,

    I havn't seen the Blaster WORM in a long time, usually this WORM has a window that comes up with a countdown timer then it restarts the computer.

    What you are going to have to do is get this computer or get on this computer and run a series of scans and post me some logs.

    Let me know what you want to do.

    can do. I'll be working on it today. I may be able to kick it early. I just hope I don't have to hand right the logs by the end of it all.
    Thanx
