Need help quick have W32.Blast Worm virus and cant stay online long enough on safe mode to run the FIX.IT. does anyone have any suggestions quickfix

[lols]

Try and run some anti virus software like http://www.sophos.com

once you have deleted the virus you should then run the http://www.microsoft.com/security/incide....asp#steps

which are the secuirty updates for it.

Good luck

Yes - but we need a pro to reply to this as you need to do some rather tricky stuff to do this in your register....

Sadly I don't recall who was the big help at the old site....

BADGER was the oke

[doudoucats]

Have you managed to fix it yet Dani?

[Jangar]

If you're not scared then try this....

BUT BE VERY CAREFUL !!!!!!

VERY VERY CAREFUL !!!!!

DID I STRESS BEING CAREFUL ENOUGH ???

Click on Start and then run...

Type in "regedit"

Then select the path HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

after that go to the "microsoft" library

then under that "windows"

and then "current version"

and finally "run"

delete (and this is where I become unsure) anything that shouldn't be there... For the life of me I cannot recall what the virus calls itself and be careful that you do not delete the wrong thing....

All of this should be done when off-line !!! When done go on-line and get the latest update for you anti virus program, download it and remove all traces of the worm...
