| Does this affect Windows 98? | Aug 12, 2003 |
Hello everyone,
I looked at the link for the patch and saw that it does not seem to concern Windows 98. Can anyone confirm that?
Thanks!

Thanks again Ian,
The patch is apparently functioning. It was not possible to remove the Msblast application, but the prefetchig sequence can be removed. Till 14:00 Hrs back all my computers were running down. since I installed the patch one comp is functioning without letting me down. Thanks again. Watchout those who are still facing the trouble, the patch must be of the same language version as of the OS- i.e, If windowsXP-English version, you should take the english version of the patc...

Symantec does not list Windows 98 among the systems that can be affected. I would think you are OK.

that's why some people doesn't have a firewall.

From your OE menu, select "tool">options>security, and then uncheck the statement about refusing to open or save unsafe files. I do not know the exact wording in your version, because mine is a Chinese version.
Then you will be able to save .zip files or .pdf files, or whatever.

Romina, I think I got the gist of your message, but it's a while since I studied italiano!
There's a few steps you have to do in the right order to get rid of this thing:
1st, enable the Internet Connection Firewall: start> control panel > network and internet connections > right click on the icon of your dial-up software, go to properties, select the advanced tab and enable the firewall.
THEN go get the patch from the microsoft page (links above). The virus stops you doing this, which is why you have to enable the firewall.
THEN use the FixBlast tool from the symantec website (links above).
THEN you should be OK!
I think that's everything.
Good luck!

I resolved this problem by installing the Microsoft security patch for the RPC method (which has been known about for over a month: why didn't my antivirus software or my regular Windows updates fix it automatically? Hmmph.)
The patch for Windows NT, 2000, and XP can be found at this Microsoft page (the download is, of course, at the bottom of the page).

According to the Microsoft security alert, the msblast worm ONLY affects systems running Windows 2000, Windows NT and Windows XP.
For the technically inclined, the details on how the worm is structured works and how it works -- as well as a step-by-step removal procedure, can be found at the following F-PROT Web site. Scroll down to the bottom of the page, then click on the "msblast" links (A, B and C) under "Current threats" -- there are now 3 apparently variants of the worm.

By the time I connect up to download the patch and then get rid of the thing, my machine disconnects. Have downloaded it onto my "old" Windows 98 machine and will copy it onto my laptop XP machine.
What a pain these things are !

Keep downloading those Microsoft files - I think there have been four new ones since yesterday. They are supposedly addressing some of the secondary effects of the virus.

I had this virus yesterday on my computer, and I removed it by following the instructions in the forum at: http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1105_2-5062532.html
Just scroll down until you see the messages in the forum and pick the topic "HERE ARE STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS!" message by "joe mama" it also works if you don't have antivirus software installed!
