Hi all,

Looks like we all have the same problem, Microsoft Update
page has had a balster worm infecting the d/load site.
This appears on Microsoft pages, take a look.

Atm,

My machine cannot even get to windows, the worm by the
looks of things has corrupted all my drives, I have even
taken a boot disk from my other machine and tried to
reboot my infected machine. (NO LUCK)

Would like to ask any comp wizards if they know a fix to
this, inserting boot disk and trying to access C'D'E
drives are not recognised.

Please help!!!

Chris
 
This looks like it is going to be worse than code red and
nimda put together. The DOS attacts probobly will start
in a day or two.....

| You most likely have a worm W32.Blaster.Worm
| DISCONNECT the subject computer from any network IMMEDIATELY.
|
| Install or enable a firewall IMMEDIATELY:

| VERY IMPORTANT to repair, closing ports is NOT enough.
| Download the appropriate patch referenced in Ron Martessl article
| below.
| You may need to do this at an uninfected computer and burn to CD or

| After this is resolved prevent similar occurrences by installing ALL
| Critical Updates from Windows Update.
| Keep antivirus up to date and run at least weekly.
| Install or enable a firewall.
