Information about Msblast.exe virus

Hello everyone. Like many other people here, my computer was infected by the lovesan/msblast/msblast.exe (the virus is also known as the w32.blaster.worm) virus. I managed to remove the virus and fix the problems it caused without the help of anti-virus software, and I thought I'd share with everyone else.  Remember, on August 16th, the worm will hit and affect the Windows Update website, so be sure you are prepared to fight Msblaster

This virus only infects computers running Windows 2000 or Windows XP. I run Windows XP, so I do not know how much of the following information applies to Windows 2000. Here are the symptoms of the virus: 

1) When Windows starts up, you may get an error message which says that a file name "TFTP" (or something similar) cannot be found. The filename will have a random number at the end. For example, mine was "TFTP2434".

2) After Windows has been running for a few minutes, the following error message occurs: "This system is shutting down. Please save all work. This shutdown was initiated by NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM Windows must now restart because the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service terminated unexpectedly." 

After this message pops up, the system will shut down after one minute, and there's nothing you can do to stop it. When Windows restarts, the same thing will happen again after a few minutes.

3) Sometimes you will get the following message: "Generic Host Process for Win32 Services has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." Closing this window will usually result in getting the "This system is shutting down" message with the one minute countdown.

How to remove Msblast.exe virus

                Note: In order to prevent the system from crashing while you are trying to remove the virus, you should start up your computer in Safe Mode (*without* network support). 

1) In Windows, press and hold down the ctrl, alt, and del keys to make the Windows Task Manager pop up. Click on the Processes tab and look for a process named "msblast". This process is the virus running in your computer memory. To remove it, click on it and then press the End Process button. Now the virus is not running in the background. 

2) Go to your C:\Windows\System32 folder and look for the file named msblast.exe. Delete it. Now the virus cannot be executed again. Also look in your C:\Windows\prefetch folder for files with similar names. For example, I found a file named "msblast.exe -o9FF84F2.pf". If you find any such files, delete them as well.

3) Click on the Start button and then click on Run. Type in "regedit" and hit Enter. This will run the Windows registry editor. Navigate to the following key:

 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run 

Click on the "Run" key and several values will appear to the right. Look for the value named "windows auto update". The data for this value will read "msblast.exe" or something similar. This is what makes the virus start up every time Windows starts. Delete it.

The file will typically also cause some issues with the svchost.exe applications running.  Be sure to look out for how many instances of svchost.exe are present when you check the running programs.  More than 4 instances of svchost.exe should be a sign of concern.

4) Look in your StartUp folder in the start menu for a file name "TFTP" or something similar. This is responsible for the error message that occurs when windows starts up. Delete this file. 

Note: If you started up in safe mode, you now need to reboot your computer in normal mode in order to access the internet. 

Note: With the msblast virus removed, you'd think your computer wouldn't crash anymore but mine still did (although it didn't seem to do it as quickly as before). After I ran Windows Update, the crashes stopped (see bellow).

5) Next, run Windows Update from the Start Menu. This will patch the bug that allowed you to get the virus in the first place. Specifically, the patch you are looking for has the id number 823980. You should probably select just that patch because the system might still shut down at any minute (although this did not happen to me during the update). Once the patch is installed you should stop getting error messages and you can then download other patches if you want to. 

6) The msblast.exe virus can still be in your Recycle Bin or in a System Restore backup. To be safe you should now empty your Recycle Bin. Next you should disable and re-enable System Restore. This should delete your backups. To disable System Restore, first run the System Restore program (It should be in your start menu under programs\accessories\system tools\) and then click on the link that says "System restore settings." Check the checkbox that says "turn off system restore on all drives" and hit ok. You can re-enable it the same way.
