See logs (you have those, right?).
- One last question, i know i shouldnt be asking on
this list, but then i am sure many people on this list use windows. i got infected by 'msblast.exe' and my Windows Management Instrumentation(WMI) seems to be screwed up, for which i cannot activate internet firewall( so i cant download DCOM patch from microsoft site ) nor can i do a system restore. my windows partition(Windows XP Professional) is disconnected from the internet and i have removed all traces of msblast.exe( ie /windows/system32 and registry ) but WMI just doesnt seem to work. Any suggestions ??
Format, reinstall, download all relevant patches on another system, copy to XP, apply. Put another box as packet filtering firewall in between, then a second box with ALGs for all your protocols, then the XP box.
