The application doesn’t require installation, so you can run it from a removable drive without leaving a fingerprint on your system’s registry settings. Please note that administrative rights are required in order to successfully launch it.

W32.Blaster.Worm Removal Tool performs a thorough scan of your computer in order to identify and remove the infections. As a consequence, the detection process might take a while, so bear with it for as long as it’s necessary.

A restart process is required in order for the removal to be successful. It is also recommended that you run the tool again to ensure that the computer is clean. If you experience issues running the application, restarting the computer in Safe Mode might solve the problem.
