After reading this thread and a few others last night, I told my kids to stop any
kazaa/limewire DLs because something bad is happening on the internet. This morning
my boss realized he was an mblast statistic.
Here's how to fixed this little sucker:
1.) on a non-infected PC, grab the update and burn to disk. :http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/?url=/technet/security/bulletin/MS03-026.asp
2.) On the infected PC, Use taskmanager to end mblast.exe. 3.) use regedit to delete
any references to mblast in the registry. 4.) turn off the computer, remove net/modem
jack from back of pc and turn pc back on. 5.) delete the file \windows\system32\mblast.exe
and any suspect files in your kazaa/limewire shared folders. 6.) Run the windows
patch from the disk from step 1 to keep this from happening again. Good luck and
lots of thanks to the peeps who contributed here.
