RE: how do i fix this !!
fastest way, start computer as soon as it loads do ctrl,alt,del, and keep watching for msblast to apear (keep shuting it down as it starts) open the search tool from start menu, search for msblast then as soon as it finds it delete it (rember to keep closing it down in taskmanager) and make sure that you have a firewall running & anti-virus then goto microsoft for the patch, this is essential otherwise you will get re-infected within minutes.
ps please let us know how you go on. :D

Don`t know if this will help you but...I had to reformat XP home yesterday and when it came to getting back online (150K BB with NTL), as soon as I got on I got online I got the Welchia 32 thing. Luckily I have the MSBLAST & WELCHIA 32 fixer on a floppy so was able to get rid of this...however, after speaking with NTL, they won`t give "support" to anybody who hasn`t got the M$ patch on as they`re protecting their network. Upshot of all this is NTL told me to go to PCWorld :/ and get a disk with these patches on or get NTL will be happy to send me a disk. I went to PCWorld and the guy there said NTL shouldn`t be doing this and they weren`t going to be offering these disks for much longer.
Back online now and had to update approx 50 Megs worth of patches and SP1 from M$...Bless `em :(
