Re: Purging Blaster.worm

[Schneider Sebastian <ses () straightliners de>]

The tool is working out fine as far as I can say. Tested it in different 
environments (W2K, W2K SP3, XP, XP SP1).
Sometimes it might be helpful to kill the msblast.exe process (XP) and 
rebooting the system after removing the windows auto update = msblast.exe
key.

Removing the worm manually (registry, files) works out as well. 


Please notice, that MS's hotfix requires at least SP2 for W2K.
