My home PC is infected, but I am going to wait until after the weekend before I begin to address the problem. Too much confusion right now.

Its not hard to fix, provided you have the latest MS service pack installed. If not, it is a bit more of a challenge. If you're running XP you can enable the firewall, which will hold it at bay, but that isn't a permanent fix.

1. Kill the msblaster.exe task from your current processes.
2. Search and delete anything named msblaster.exe.
3. Click on 'network connections'. Right click on your active connection, click on the third-most tab to the right and then click the 'firewall' checkbox.
4. If you're really feally frisky, you can seach online for the registry setting that it creates and delete that as well, but I don't recommend that for the faint of heart.
After the storm, try hitting the windowsupdate.com site for the patch.
But you don't need to go there to do this.
