Taz had worms!!!

Yep! Taz HAD the BLaster Worm but after going to Doc. Microsoft he is OK now!!!
Seriously, this worm is aggravating - it shuts down your computer every 5 - 10 minutes. At least if you are Online.
To tell if you have it, check for a process running that is named msbLast.exe
The easiset way to do that on a Windows XP machine is to press: Control-Alt-Delete
This will bring up a screen showing the running applications.
Press the processes Tab.
Look for the msbLast process; if it is there highlight and press end process button.
Then either run the Symantic program mentioned before to remove the worm or do a complete search on all drives for msbLast.exe (I found mine in C:\windows\system32 folder)
Delete all occurances.
One thing I should mention is the System Restore function on Windows XP machines - this MIGHT bring the worm back in certain cases.
To prevent this...
Again on Windows XP machines:
Right click on My Computer
Click on properties
click on system restore tab
Select (check) the Turn Off System Restore box
click apply
This will erase all system restore points on the computer.
Then go back again and uncheck the Turn Off System Restore box
and Click apply
Now there is no way system restore can 'resurrect' the bLaster worm.
You have now killed the worm... now goto the microsoft update site and make sure no other ones crawl in!!!
P.S. I hope you have more than the 56K Modem that Taz has - It took me 2 (TWO) HOURS to download all patches (30 Meg download).
