Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted August 13, 2003 Report Posted August 13, 2003 The built in XP firewall will block its connection attempts to propgate itself (if you are having problems staying online). Activate it through the "Advanced" tab in your connection properties in "Network Connection". This will allow you to stay online and patch and clean your PC :) (XP only)

Guest AngelOfRage Posted August 15, 2003 Report Posted August 15, 2003 i think ive sorted my machine now, i end process on the running MSBlast.exe then deleted it from c:windowssystem32 then applied the patch, and hey presto i think ive sorted it... i thought it be stuck in the registry to recreate itself once rebooted but it hasnt done so far... apparently it delivers some sort of payload on the 16th August not sure what though
