What's the best way to get rid of 'that' virus!

[Jimmy Little]

i have had about 50 people come up and ask me how to get rid of this pesky virus that shuts your computer down every 6 seconds? i have done it a few times, but wondered if there is a good patch or tool that will clear it out...

[Swafe]

turn off shutdown in settins->control pan->admin coptinos->componanats->services->RPC remote something or other

or theres a patch

[Jimmy Little]

is that the same for win98?

[TiG]

win98 can't get the RPC virus

not quite, to abort the shutdown do.. start -> run -> "shutdown -a"

next run the patch.. to prevent repeat infection

then lastly run one of the many msblast fix tools (symantec do the best and most regularly updated one IMHO: http://securityresponse.symantec.com...r/FixBlast.exe)

www.symantec.com removal tool is the one i use.
and making sure it's patched www.microsoft.com


- can this thread be moved to software forum ? thanks
