Hi guys/gals,

sorry for my post even though this has been addressed several time in the froum but didn't noticed by me. Tell you what I feel like bump. But hey after all we are still awake for those things.

This thing is going crazy.

I think the Mods should do a sticky with a clear subject so the most people can get the help asap

Hmm Virus free - but we do have a NAT router and firewalls on every PC - has anyone caught it in the act of downloading? Where does it come from?

This is one that cannot be blamed on by downloading.

The attackers are scanning ISP hosts for IP addresses and either trying to attack them all or just the ones that seem to be vulnerable


edit: woops forgot the link

According to Symantec, the most prolific danger exists to Windows 200 and XP. The worm can spread to these computers, while on NT and Server 2003, they must manually be put on there. Everyone, take this as a lesson, update your system. As much as I love computers, I hate people who do this. Yes, it exposes a threat, but when you have a grudge against a company, and then make a worm to exploit them, it is not right. I truly hope that Windows users, and Microsoft itself learns a lesson from this. To all you users, check WindowsUpdate regularly, and you won't have to worry about things like this. To Microsoft, you must check your software more thoroughly for security holes. Yes, I know not all holes can be found, but this hole has existed since the NT days in a similar form. Now, I love Microsoft as a company, and in fact have a MSDN subscription, but I just want to post a notice from a dedicated user. Also, all those people who say that they can't update because of there bandwith, I call bullsh|t. It's a 1.23 MB download.
