Exclamation Warning: MSBlaster Worm

I currently work in the I/T department at Cranbrook, and have been getting calls from our users about the MSBlaster worm (also called the LovSan worm or virus). I have some information here on it and wanted to share it with my fellow CD users. I recommend visiting Microsoft's website for the appropriate Windows patch, and updating your virus definition files from your anti-virus manufacturer's website or update utility. Here is some other information:

Thanks for this.

It's been all over the news where I live. I updated my PC ASAP (I still wish I had Unix or a clone of that).

Quick question-
it seems like the patches that Microsoft released only cover windows 2000, ME, XP, their new servers and a couple other new OS's. I run Windows 98, and I keep up with the updates and patches, but there is no Win98 patch specifically for this. Is that because Microsoft figures that people upgrade their systems often enough that a Win98 patch is un-needed, or is it because Win98 doesn't contain this flaw? If you know and could tell me it would be a great help. Thanks.

Annoying

This thing is really annoying. NT AUTHORITY/SYSTEM made my computer restart once about 1 month ago and just last night it came back. I think my computer restarted atleast 6 times in less than 30 minutes. I had my brother download the update and put it on a cd and everything is working fine now.

I think it is that the bug and worm doesn't attack the Windows 98 operating system. I checked there website and it says it only affects four operating sytems.

My computer freezes up and resets quite a lot after I upgraded to XP Pro a couple weeks ago...

When I am using a lot of applications (and especially if i am burning a cd, even if that's the only thing open), sometimes my computer freezes up and goes to a blue screen!

It says "kernal_data_inpage_error" at top. Then it begins a memory dump...

Dunno what's wrong. Happens at least 1ce a day.

That won't be the virus, if you read the symetec (sp?) notice, I'll tell you what happens.

Well, a quick google search turned up this: http://www.thatcomputerguy.us/forum/...ID=115&page=1.

Also, I had a lot of random lockups with XP and my CD burner before I installed the newest VIA 4-in-1 drivers. If you don't have a VIA chipset, just ignore that last sentence.

Last nite i took down my zonealarm firewall to put up my webcam, and instantly i was getting netsend messages and the same shutdown command as you got.
Whenever im bored, i remaotly shut down other ppl's computers, so i know all the commands. To remove the shutdown command, open a command prompt, and type in "shutdown /a"


I then put my firewall up

Just a peice of advice (I don't know if this was said already but), if your computer does have the virus and you search for MSBLAST to delete the files, make sure that you search in hidden files and folders too because there could be files that won't come up otherwise and the virus will keep showing up if you don't delete them. Unfortunatly, I speak from experience and may I say, the worm virus sucks!!

Hello all, first timer here. I am having that problem with the NT AUTHORITY shutdown thing. Two nights ago, it started happening, and everytime I connected to my DSL, minutes later the message would popup "NTAUTHORITY is shutting down your comp. Please save all work." A timer is there, and all you can do is stare in horror as the timer slowly ticks down. It happened about 6-7 times in less than an hour. Most annoying indeed. Checked out the TechSpot link above, and it solved my problem! It's a security hole in Windows that has to be patched. Just follow the links and all will be gravy. Now I just have to run my antivirus, Ad-Aware, and Spybot....
