Checking and getting rid of Blaster is relatively easy. The only way of preventing a reinfection is to download the patch - try http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com

I did download the above and it let me install it, so I guess I'm clean. I tried the detection and I have Win2000, so I do not have a Processes tab.
