skince55 Posted August 14 Report Share Posted August 14 My virus scan keeps comin up with a virus and I keep deleting it. Also, the computer feels the need to restart itself every half hour now. Fuckin Hackers....what the fuck is the point in this virus shit? Anyone caught creating viruses should be treated as a terrorist and taken to gauntonomo bay. Fuckin assholes. Half the times they actually get jobs in computer security after they get caught. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAZE Posted August 14 Report Share Posted August 14 I think I got it on my desktop. I'm on my laptop right now. My CD Rom was all messed up so I restarted and went into setup and it won't detect my D: drive and it keeps telling me to insert the boot disk. Where do I get a boot disk from? Can I download it from somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbbooom Posted August 14 Report Share Posted August 14 a boot disk like win nt or win95 or 98 ya knowwwwww Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's asking for a boot disk for the A drive, not a CD rom for the D or E drive. I'm going to try to put the windows 2000 CD in my drive and see if I can do a repair.Here's the link to protect your PC if you haven't installed the patch yet:http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/search.aspx?displaylang=en Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bklynzzfinest Posted August 14 Report Share Posted August 14 download and install all the updates on Microsofts website and your immune to this particular worm.MICROSOFT UPDATE WEBSITE PS. Its always a good idea to download these updates VERY frequently (atleast 2 or 3 times per month). They contain invaluable security updates, and enhancments.

kaligirl Posted August 14 Report Share Posted August 14 I got it here at work yesterday. The whole network was down most of the day.If anyone needs them, I have the worm removal tool as well as the patches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrazzorr Posted August 14 Report Share Posted August 14 Before you run installing Windows updates, make sure you don't have the bug on your machine. Download the attached file and run it to see if you have it, it will remove it if you do have it. After you finish running this patch it will ask you if you want to go to Microsoft and download the patches.Took me like five minutes to remove the bug, don't bother calling Symantec.P.S.: If someone doesn't trust the validity of the FixBlast.exe file, it is digitally signed, you can download signature check at http://www.wmsoftware.com/free.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexybeautiful Posted August 14 Report Share Posted August 14 i got the damn thing,but luckily i figured out how to get rid of it...it just goes to show how much we depend on computers, well at least I do..I was lost for like 3 days without a fully working internet explorer it was like hell lol!!!

Fix it!So weird and unecessary and IMO is not a very good motive to do any of this.Only good thing is at least this virus is not destructive--now that...would suck.

HAZE Posted August 15 Report Share Posted August 15 I can't even start my PC. It keeps asking me to put a boot disk in drive A. I don't have one. I guess I'm going to have to just do a fresh copy of Windows 2000 and lose everything. Is there any way of using a different boot disk?

Don't know if it would make a difference but you could try... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
