Anne, you may find that the fix and patch will need to be installed in Safe Mode. Hitting F8 on the reboot should get into the mode.

Subject: [PCSOFT] Blaster Infection
An elder in my family has a machine that is infected with the Blaster; she's hardly computer literate, lives isolated as far as on-site computer help is concerned.
I don't have a clue as to how to advise her how to disinfect her computer because of the shutdown/reboot feature of the virus. How do you activate a patch or a systems check with your AVP when the pc continually shuts down and reboots?
