proxieme | For all of those getting attacked by the new Worm: The System is Down |
lioneye68 | That's a really boring website, Prox. I'm glad you're so happy with angelfire, though. |
proxieme | Argh - I didn't get to complete the link b/c my computer restarted. Because, y'know...that damn worm hit it. Again. Because I can't download the patch...b/c my computer keeps crashing...before it can do so... Check again.(That's the site that angelfire puts up as a default...I just use it for file storage.) |
N_wEvil | terrorist attack, my arse.... Still, im not entirely surprised M$ didnt spot such a numbskull security hole |

juniperb | I downloaded the patch this a.m. Heres the link to worm info & place to get the patch. Patch link is near bottom of page. Good Luck all!! http://www.trendmicro.com/vinfo/virusencyclo/default5.asp?VName=WORM_MSBLAST.A |
juniperb | Prox, ya beat me to it . Did you really get infected |
juniperb | Prox, there`s also removal instructions in the link |
proxieme | I didn't get it, my job (and the rest of the campus) got it. The problem is that the comps kept restarting b/f we could download the cleaner and patch... One of our comps's still running on 98, though, so we downloaded them onto that and then distributed them. |
juniperb | Oh lordy Prox, rereading all this, it sounds like we`re talking about getting a std |
Lost Leo | sneaky little worm ain't it? |
anafaery | i looked into it but apparently im not at risk, being that i use win me. yes, gasp and point and laugh at me, i have been too lazy to change it. i have xp pro but i dont want to put it on just yet. the win me came with this pc and it happens to have all the drivers etc, and if i do a clean install, which i will do when switching to xp, i want it to be running smoothly. i hate nothing worse than running at anything other than my 1268 by 720 res. i was playing a lot of pc games too, and when i had xp on here before, i had CRAP framerate, and that just wont do when you play fps. yes, i have an agressive side. but yea, im gonna get my software engineer friend to do it for me, as he wont get so frustrated. i will. i always do, when its my own pc im working on. does anyone know anything about whether i have to worry, with win me? i went all over links and ms' website, and they never mentioned win me being at risk at all. i hope they are right. ~verbosefaery ------------------ where i end and you begin there's a gap in between there's a gap where we meet where i end and you begin and i'm sorry for us the dinosaurs roam the earth the sky turns green where i end and you begin i am up in the clouds i am up in the clouds and i can't and i can't come down |
