| 225122 | 2004-03-25 10:25:00 | Hup. Sorry, I just deleted it with NOD32. It said it could not clean the virus, so I thought that meant it couldnt do anything. I just noticed it had delete :-) | mejobloggs (264) | ||
| 225123 | 2004-03-28 05:59:00 | Well, it just popped up again in another file. I think maybe it is spreading? | mejobloggs (264) | ||
| 225124 | 2004-03-28 06:05:00 | Woah... the Blaster virus... old school :-) You need to get a patch from MS to prevent becoming reinfected over and over again. Then you'll need a virus removal tool or similar to get rid of it. This Symantec Page (securityresponse.symantec.com) has all the info you need including a removal tool and links to the MS patches for W2K or WXP (only affected OS's). |

| 225125 | 2004-03-28 06:06:00 | I am guessing you are using win xp? If so disable System Restore (Note: you will loss all your System Restore points) then that will help with removing it. |

This is what Blaster is called: W32/Lovsan.worm.a [McAfee], Win32.Poza.A [CA], Lovsan [F-Secure], WORM_MSBLAST.A [Trend], W32/Blaster-A [Sophos], W32/Blaster [Panda], Worm.Win32.Lovesan [KAV] source: securityresponse.symantec.com There is northing there that says: Lovsan.E mejobloggs: are you shore you got the name right? |

| 225127 | 2004-03-28 06:40:00 | > I don’t think so.... > I do... Lovsan.E is the same as Blaster.E it's just another variant of Blaster. The Symantec Removal tool linked off the page above removes Blaster A through F so will get rid of the Blaster.E (Lovsan.E) virus. All variants of Blaster (Lovsan) infect through the same port, so you definitely need the MS patch and the removal tool. Symantec's Blaster E Page (securityresponse.symantec.com) Removal Tool Direct Download (securityresponse.symantec.com) Symantec Security Response has developed a removal tool to clean the infections of W32.Blaster.E.Worm. Also Known As: W32/Blaster-E [Sophos], W32/Lovsan.worm.e [McAfee], Worm.Win32.Lovesan [KAV] |

| 225129 | 2004-03-28 06:58:00 | Removal Tool Direct Download (securityresponse.symantec.com) Seems something funky happened to the url the first time - will try that one again. |
