Okay for those who don't know if they have the virus or not. What happens is while you're browsing on your computer a pop up will come up. I have Windows XP so i'm not sure if everyone else's computer does the same but on mine the thing popped up and said "RPC Protocall was shut down computer will reboot in 1:00" then the timer starts counting down and computer restarts after 1 minute. If any of you have this problem click the link above.

everyone go to Arkers "windows users" thread, and go read the microsoft site

you need to install the security fix BEFORE you use this tool to remove the virus...otherwise it will come back when you restart your comp

dont connect to the net (not sure if thatll work, but my comp only screwed up online)

if not, when you start the comp, press ctrl, alt & delete and end the task called "msblast.exe" ...if you can
