Most major universities (especially with large networks) received patch CDs from Microsoft.

Ball State was overlooked. I was infected instantaneously.

I have spent the past three days doing nothing but taking this off people's computers. Ridiculous. I must have disinfected at least 25 so far.

Haha, lucky me - I had planned a reformat of my computer for the upcoming school year...

Rather than dealing with the virus, I spent 16 hours:
backing up data from E: to C:
reformatting E: using gvt standard write
backing up data from C: to E:
spending 3 hours taking down settings
reformatting C:
reinstalling win xp pro
install sp 1 & dl all critical updates
install 15gb of software
copy back C: data on E: to C:

yeah... that was a nicely planned reformat so things went smoothly and everything felt the same the next day

Gotta love all the work to reformat

I took me a total of about 2 days (reformatting took 2 hrs., the rest was from procrastinating).

If I ever get infected w/ a virus, I'd just re-format (unless the virus does that for me). But luckly I won't get this one (so many patches).

Amanda: Doesn't your school have any firewall of some sort, or can they block the ports that MSBlast attacks? I know that this is what my ISP did (dreadedly it slowed my connection 1/2 the time).

Oh yes... BSU does have a firewall, an OUTSIDE firewall. The student network is all interconnected.

So basically... One kid moved in, didn't disinfect his computer, plugged into the network, and bam - everyone in every residence hall was destined to have this thing as soon as they plugged in.

Ah, the miracles of BSU ethernet...
