    Exclamation

    Blaster just upgraded to a Cat-4.. 08:50 UTC



    Only panic if you don't have access to a clean, patched, firewalled system..

    Follow removal instructions from Symantec
    This page includes links to download a removal tool, and the Patch..

    NOTE: Follow the Bloody Instructions especially the step about disabling the system Restore.. If you don't do this it will come back.. and follow the instructions

    Read instructions on how to remove the W32/Blaster-A worm and ensure your system is not vulnerable to reinfection.
    If you don't like Symantec (Norton) you could try Sophos for instructions ..
    Or try the info from McAfee (Lovesan=MSBlaster) ..Also info from F-Prot ..And Bitdefender ..And Authentium (aka Command.com AV) .. Oh and Panda .. Oh and TrendMicro .. And Leprechaun .. M$'s RAV .. I hope you don't need help from Kaspersky ..

    I think you get the hint.. Clean/Patched/Firewalled(port135, 4444 and all other un-need ports Blocked) Machine.. to get the info, tools and patches.. and follow the instructions..


    Cheers

    BTW: Dosen't anyone do some sort of a search b4 posting?.. the number of treads on different forums on this site, regarding this bug.. while some it is understandable they didnt know what was happening.. ..

    Opps i think I have given out my secret for all the Heads Up warnings.. This Listing is just those who listed the Lovesan/MSBlaster worm in their warnings.. Noobs.. bookmark them....

    Just to clarify here, not ALL versions of Windows are vulnerable, Win 98 and back is not vulnerable to my knowledge. The vulnerable versions are Win NT and up, which yes, does include 2003 Server. This is why this worm has the potential to infect a large number of machines, because the vulnerability encompasses so many machines.


    EDIT: As steve.milner has pointed out below, ME is not affected by this vulnerability either. Thanks steve...
