Blaster Worm

[UnDyingUK]

Recently a friend of mine had a computer problem and asked for my help when i got on her system it became apparent very quickly that she had the Blaster Worm, so i removed it and d/l the patch etc etc, but now when ever you turn the PC on you get this error message -

 

"Error loading C:WINDOWSSystem32cd_clint.dll".

 

 

Any ideas how to solve this error.

 

By the way the sharing of information on the SAF server on this subject, was invaluble in my solving her worm problems thanks to all that posted on the Computers thread on the Blaster Subject.

Um - not usre what that file is. I dont think it was a problem caused by the Blast virus, as it is non destructive in nature - only tries to spread itself.

 

What operating system is she running - WinXP or Win2000?

 

I'll look into it.

I did a little research at yahoo, and it would appear CD_CLINT.DLL is a libarary used by Cydoor-sponsored applications. (i.e Kazza , imesh etc)

 

The reason this error occurs is through an unsuccessful uninstall of one of these programs or through the use of AdAware if its still installed.

 

This may explain the W32/Blaster-A infection.

I have included a Kazaa Uninstaller and a copy of the missing file

cd_clint.zip

WOW Guys -thanks very much, i would prolly have been easier if i'd mentioned that this error occurs when you try to remove Kazaa, via add/remove programs. But i didnt need to and you still managed to work it out so thanks again.

No probs.

 

Glad we could be of assistance.
