I got a virus on the machines at work recently and here are
the symptoms:
1. Cannot copy/paste in application or with files in OS
2. Cannot run Excel, I get error "Cannot use object
linking and embedding" and the application crashes.
3. Cannot run service pack 4 or update for msblast virus.
Application hangs on update.
4. Internet explorer cannot open new browser windows and
cannot go to the windows update site.

Please let me know if you have experienced this problem and
how I can fix it. I am running Windows 2000 Server and
Professional.
 
I am having the same exact problem as the original poster. But I
definitely do not have the msblaster virus. I have the latest virus
definitions and I also ran the msblaster removal tool. Any help would
be appreciated.

Marina,
I am having the same sort of problem. I do not have the
msblast.exe process running and I have also installed SP4
and the MS03-026 security patch. The error begins to
occur after the machine has been connected to the
network. I get an 'Application Error' from svchost, then
find in the event viewer that the RPC service has
terminated unexpectedly. So it certainly sounds like the
blaster virus, but there is no trace of the virus on my
machine. If you have another answer, please help!!
 
What kind of network? All computers in a LAN should be checked for this
proces (or the mspatch.exe).
