== O.T. == blaster worm virus

[Guest guest]

most everyone has heard about this latest worm by now since it was sent to

destroy on the 11th from what the computer guys told me. if you have it,

get it, you will have a pop up window with a red X in the left corner and a

message which states NT authority system. further in the message it says

RPC for remote procedure call. at the bottom there is a timer which counts

down from 59seconds and automatically shuts your computer off.

anyhow - if you have read this much you need to go to norton or symantec and

update a patch for the anti virus and then go to microsoft web site and

update a patch from there for the worm. with these patches installed it over

rides the notorious worm from shutting you off every 59 seconds!

and it doesn't matter if you never open an attachment - its coming through

IM, web sites and the damn phone lines just from dialing up according to the

news reports and such.

it hits XP windows more than others.

this is my second virus in two months totaling four computers hit - not a

happy camper........
