Cheers me Grandpaps computer had it I fixed it wont through that link and sorted it out. Its a real pain because it keeps restarting your comp and you cant stop it. I read it comes through as a windows update so be careful when downloading them. The best way to get rid of it is to go on the norton anti virus site and download there tool. Search for it on your system by going ons earch and typing in msblast.exe you may have and not realise so i reccomend checking.

This virus is a pain in the ass, but not dangerous. It's just a worm, it gets stuck in your memory, It doesnt affect your filesystem or anything. Harmless virus, pain in the ass though.
