[YLW400]

I keep getting this popup after being online for like 3 minutes saying Windows is shutting down, and it gives me 60 seconds

saying windows must now restart...it's up now so I am getting readyy tp get kicked off, help please!!!!!!

[Taco]

I think Pappy is having a similar problem.:eek2:

[YLW400]

Are you serious????? It keeps doing it!!!!!! What the hell??? Gotta be a virus of sorts.......

[YLW400]

"Generic host process dor win 32 has encountered a problem"

[YLW400]

Anyone???? It's doing it right now!

[Taco]

yep he is having the same prob

[YLW400]

Dude, it's even when I am offline! I have a cable modem, but I wasn't in Explorer, and it did it again...In another words, just in normal Windows it does it...I think I need another drink...lmao

Any word on what he is doing about it Taco??

[zephead400ex]

DO THIS NOW!!!! This is a serious problem.

Control-Alt-Delete to get to Task Manager. Look for a
process msblast. Kill that process.
Using Task Manager, start a new process called regedit.
Using regedit, navigate to
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
and take out msblast there. Then run the patch from this site:

http://download.microsoft.com/download/9/8/b/98bcfad8-afbc-458f-aaee-b7a52a983f01/WindowsXP-KB823980-x86-ENU.exe

This is a new virus which will crash or access Win XP & 2000.

any questions?

peace

Great post zephead400ex

I just walked pappy through fixing his.

Also, don't forget to search the hard drive for the msblast and delete it.

[YLW400]

Yes, even on windows...Harlan. Everytime it shuts down. I deleted it but need to know where to go to NAVAGATE to that part.....after I delete

[YLW400]

Now it wont let me delete one of the MSBLAST files frmm my hard drive................................... There were 2 of them, I got rid of one of them.

[YLW400]

I just did a search again, and it's not there now :confused2

Well at least now I know WTF was going on.

Damn fdisk fixes everything :D but dont try that at home lmao.
mine got to the point it wouldnt even boot up, acted just like a trashed hard drive. Wasnt any way to get it going so I just deleted XP (didnt like it anyhow) and loaded 2000 on the freshly formated drive.

Hope that killed the little bugger.

Dont dowload Window Washer, it is just disguised(sp) spyware.
I think this goes without saying, there is good adware, but becareful what you download...:ermm:

Windows 2000...run Windows Update.

[Adam202]

OK, ive had this similar problem along with millions of other people, Run windows update and it will be fixed, http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/security/b ulletin/MS03-026.asp i went there and downloaded about 26 updates which totaled up to 36.6 MB. since then i havent had it happen again. ;)

[Adam202]

heres a link to another forum of people experiencing this problem, http://www.quake3world.com/ubb/Forum3/HTML/071822.html? .

[dirtmomma]

YEP I GOT IT ON MY LAPTOP:mad: :mad: got it yesterday but can't get online to download any updates!!!! I have Windows ME on my home computer so thats what I've been doing trying to find out what is going on!! Anyway so if I go thru the steps onthe 1st page that zep put up this should work?? OH boy I may need help on this one but I'll try it:ermm:

[zephead400ex]

Dirtmomma, try to follow the steps and you will be able to remove the virus. If you are on a DSL, Broadband, wireless, etc type of connection, you will want to disconnect while removing the virus from your pc. Obviously you will have to be connected when doing anything online, such as updating your virus protection program. I am at work, working with A LOT of ppl that have this virus, man it is nasty!

I will try to check back soon to see how things are going. I think that Harlan will be able to help also, but he is a busy man!

good luck

peace
