Bootdisk
i need a boot disk to terminate the blaster worm that i have on my Laptop.
the reason i need a boot disk version is because i cannot enter windows at all without it shutting down in 20 seconds - sometimes it doesn't log in at all!
so if there is anyone out there that can help me find a boot disk to help delete this worm, then PLEASE help me out!
Thankyou.

If you can get into Safe Mode, quickly open a command prompt (start-run-cmd) and type shutdown -a, which should abort the shutdown.
If that doesn't work, your only hope may be to remove the drive, and install it as a secondary in a FULLY PATCHED, FULLY PROTECTED system running XP, and scan it from there. Jayarriola

ctrl alt delte doesn't work.i'm telling you. it doesn't allow me to disable anything! i need something that'll get to remove what i need to remove before windows even logs on.- Try F8 on boot up and select "Last known configuration that worked". If it will then let you boot up to Windows desktop, Run Mcafee's Avert Stinger(free download to make a Diskette). I was in CA last week and my Daughter-in-law's PC got hit with a worm, and that is the way I got it back.

If you have the Blaster Worm, then your computer was very out of date. Try these solutions: http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.blaster.worm.removal.tool.html
