Jeff, about that fixblast.exe fix from Symantec, do you have to have the virus software to run that thing???

Symantec offers a bunch of targeted virus fixers for free. Most will run from DOS mode in case you maching is too hosed to boot Windows. The only catch is you have to know the name of the virus and be able to download the fix.

They save my butt from klez a few months ago.

It appears that this is a "stand alone" and you do not need NAV to run it. Check here: http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.blaster.worm.removal.tool.html

I will say that they are correct in urging you to stop "system restore" before removing this. I had a virus the other day (first in a long time) that I tried to delete using NAV, but couldn't because of system restore. Once I disabled system restore and booted into safe mode, I was able to get rid of it. Good luck!
