I have downloaded your Blaster patch, thank you. Do you
have a patch for the Sobig Worms? I am updating my Norton
Antivirus on a regular basis and running it daily,
including email searches.

However, I understand that Sobig is a worm and attacks
through unused ports. I don't know how to identify and
disable unnecessary ports.

Please advise the hotlink for a fix to prevent a Sobig
attack. Also, please advise how to manage my ports,
identify and disable unnecessary ones.

Thank you.

It is not an issue for us to produce any patches for.
