A couple of people I have been trying to help get rid of this worm did not have the MBLAST.EXE in Task Manager nor did they find that key in their registry. The only thing that stopped the computer rebooting was the tool from Symantec but when they got online to try and download the patch they got hit with it again. A real vicious circle. :-( Boy, have I had some fun trying to give a crash course (online) to non-computer literate people how to do all these things when they have never heard of Task Manager or the registry before. |

With a similar purpose of assisting people in removing the worm, But why not add another local one ;-) |

You could email them the removal tool which is only small and they would only need to be online briefly to download their mail After running the removal tool they should be able to download the patch, preferably from a local site they can get into quickly. They would be very unlucky to be hit again in the time it takes to download the patch. The other option is to go to a neighbour and download it to a floppy and there is no need to go online at all. |

| 167320 | 2003-08-14 22:56:00 | Be aware that there are now more variants on the loose. Instead of "msblast.exe", it could be "penis32.exe" or "teekids.exe" see details here (vil.nai.com) |
