Blaster Ii About To Hit!

Blaster II about to hit!

Sample code to exploit the problem described in security bulletin MS03-039 has been published on the net. That means a "Blaster II" worm is on the way. The patch for the original Blaster does NOT provide protection. If you haven't applied the subject patch, do it now!

If you want to make sure your patched or check your firewall to make sure you are patched visit http://www.grc.com and run the Shields Up test.

And as always, make sure firewalls are blocking outside ports 135-139 and 445.

**Thanks to the folks in the Windows XP News Group for the alert on this one.

Download the patch from HERE

makes perfect sense to me.

it means simply, that the orignal patch doesnt provide protection, so the new patch must be applied&#33;
