to Fix MSBlast - go to www.microsoft.com and download the fix and patch...for it..

I didn't think if you can't get to the internet how do you down load the patch ... also - how did you post the question?

Anyway - for MSBlast

Clt-Alt-Del - Bring up Task Manager - go to Processes - sort by process - find MSBlast.exe - click it - stop the process - open File explorer - search for MSBlast.exe - deleted it .. and empty trash bin...

Got to MS - and download patch and fix... purchase anti-virus for all your workstations and servers...

If MSBlast doesn't deleted - you'll need to do the same process in in safe mode..

Good luck ..
