PATCH AND VIRUS CLEANER FOR
THE W32 BLAST VIRUS
Are you having a problem with your Internet connection on your Windows XP? Are you receiving a "NT Authority System" message and your system shuts down in 60 seconds and reboots again? If so, the W32 Blaster Virus has creeped into your system. Microsoft provides a patch for this problem and there is also a virus cleaner (by Network Associates).
To remove the Blast Virus and apply the patch from Microsoft to prevent it from hapenning again, follow the instructions below carefully:
Step 1
- Download the .zip file - Click here to Download
If your Internet connection wants to disconnect due to the virus (you get the message that your computer will shut down in 60 seconds) - quickly do the following:
- Click on the "Start" button, click on "Run", type in "shutdown /a" and OK. You will be given about 20 minutes to continue your download.
Disconnet from the Internet
Step 2:
- Open the Blaster_Tools.zip file which you have just downloaded (double-click it)
- A Winzip window will appear - with two files listed.
- Double-click on “1 XP Patch.exe”
- When the installation window appears, click on Next.
- On the next screen, select “I agree” and click on Next.
- The patch will install.
- Once this complete, go back to the Winzip window.
- Double-click on the “2 Stinger.exe” file.
- When the Stinger windows opens, click on the Preferences button.
- Now, put a tick in the box for “Scan all files”
- Click OK
- Now, click on the “Scan Now” button
- Stinger will now be scanning your machine for the virus.
- Restart your computer.
