Ok, virus.. help please...

[bryad]

Aight, my comp, not to brag or anything is:

2.6 ghz
128mb ati 9200
512 mb ram
480 gb hardrive
Dsl line, telus (canadians prolly heard of it) "high speed" <cough cough>

K, to the point: I turned on my firewall, started up my Norton Anti virus, downloaded the patch from microsoft,  and still, my computer miraculasly comes out with the Blaster Worm. What i dont get is that when i search for Msblast.exe in my system32 folder, its not there. Im thinking that some dude(s) out there re-wrote the virus. Can anyone help mee by giving me tips on how to remove this blighter, WITHOUT reformatting? Would be greatly appreciated.

Peace

Grab the virus-specific tools from the virus vendor site of your choice if you have a pesky problem that won't go away. Pretty much all of them, Symantec/Norton included, will make individual cleaner programs for the stubborn ones.

Thanks mate, well, what i actually did, and i hope my comp doesnt turn off as I type this  , is that I went to my Network Connections in COntrol Panel, then went to the advanced firewall settings, and checked all the boxes. Also, I defragged the drive, checked for spyware, im on a roll
