BBD's Worm Fix!!

Hey, folks, download this patch for Windows XP (hey, did you hear there's gonna be a 2003 released?) to protect from the big worm going around.

The University gave it to me, and it fixed Akie's compy, so try it out:


EDIT....okaaaay....well, it's too big, so just try to get it from me or Akie via email/AIM.

I think I have the worm.. what are the symtoms for it? coz my Windows XP as REALLY been acting weird .. please help ?!

Go to www.microsoft.com for a patch that will protect your computer against MSBlast.

i have the patch and the creator of the worm has already been arrested so most of the fear for me is over

OK OK why dont you just TELL ME WHAT DOES YOUR COMPUTER DO WHEN IT HAS THIS WORM?! Please do.

EDIT:: thanks downloading now ^_^

I'm pretty sure you get random shutdowns, programs not working properly, etc.

i thought i hear you get random shutdown's and your interenet shoulkd have slowed down enormously

Eh, it comes a message with: System shutdown, your computer wil restart in 1 minut.

And it only work in windowsXP and windowsme/2000

Also, some websites won't work, and sometimes AIM won't work, etc.
I'll email it to you.
EDIT: okay, nm. Everyone just go to http://www.microsoft.com, then, if it's the same thing.

woo, good thing i got win 98, my friends comp was hit bad by it though, and its just about a paperweight. he has a nice dell too. he's gotta redo everything.

i think i may have it but i have a different problem. my computer won't shut down. i try to turn it off and it won't. is that the worm?

What do you mean? Can you shut it off by hitting the power button (some have to be held down)? Often, when I shut down (on Win98 SE), it doesn't do it properly, and I have to do it manually.

This thing is able to stop it before it starts? So I shoudl download it as a precaution?

Actually, I had to get somthing from www.bullguard.com to fix it, cos I couldn't stay online long enough for microsoft.com's download.

It's a 168 kb download, is free, and safley scans and removes MSblast.

OMG, I could advertise this thing for a living O_oU;;;

There is also another way from preventing your system to shut down:

Go to command prompt, type in shutdown -a. That will prevent it from shutting down.

internet slowed way down for almost everyone because the server farms are mostly xps that got hit

Oh man, I have Windows 2000 professional... Can the MBlast virus get on my computer. Man! >.<

I'm pretty sure...just go to Windows Update in your Start Menu (I'm pretty sure it's there in 2k), and you should be able to download the patch.
