bawa@klite_user...I had the same message but I think my virus was different...this one affected the temp files and I also had the same problem as thedirtyd...my comp is at the shop cause I have no clue how to fix it...anyway im curious since I have Norton (not sure which one), i havent updated in I dont know how long, how do u know if the update would possibly catch the worm...i mean like I think it was the Klez virus I caught (the one that affects only filesharing progs like Kazaa and I-Mesh), so how would I know if the update would include the klez virus blocker inside?

Yeah, the blaster worm was on the news yesterday being disussed upon about the issues of http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and it being taken down, but they said Microsoft were going to release a patch, because the virus is vunerable to Microsoft Windows 2000, NT, XP and .NET Server 2003.

I did not hear about it and never had it as I remember, but
if it gives access the hacker about your pc that is not good ...

The blaster worm(it's not a virus) enters through a hole in the Windows O/S. There are more harsh versions of it being released.
Sadly, the patch for this very "hole" was released by Microsoft back in July.
I have no sympathy for anyone who got this.
Windows update at least once a month!
Geesh people, MS operating systems are on 90% of the PCs out there. If you wanted to affect the most users, what operating system would you target?
