VIRUS WARNING!!! ALL MS OS USERS SHOULD READ!!!
I got hit with a stupid IRC virus recently. It's called Backdoor.IRC.Zcrew. If you already know about it, then great; if you don't, then this notice is for you. It's very easy to tell if you have this virus or not. I recommend for safety's sake you look for it and confirm you don't have it. Follow this Symantec link: http://securityresponse.symantec.com...irc.zcrew.html
It explains very clearly how to detect and rid yourself of the offensive bug. Much Luv -Azharen, Super Mod and Hater of ALL Virus Creators

I work as tech support for a major OEM at the moment, and here is our fix, or one of them, for the blaster virus. click start run type in services.msc then click ok look for the 'remote proceedure call' icon in the list (not 'remote procedure call locator') and double click on it click on the recovery tab make sure first, second and subsequent failures all say 'take no action' now you can connect to the internet without being kicked off your computer (which is one of the things the blaster worm does) now go to symantec.com and follow the instructions for downloading the FixBlast.exe file and running it for w32.blaster.worm at the end of running the fixblast.exe, you will be prompted to install the microsoft patch if you haven't done so already. Just installing the patch doesn't fix anything, it just kind of stops it. Other than that, watch out for the other worms, such as the w32.welchia.worm Also, these worms came in a MS update, so a firewall wouldn't have helped too much with getting them. |

I work for a state agency and somehow we got the worm and it would tell us on our laptops that the rcp was not responding & that the system was shutting down. It caused disruption of our system for the whole weekend and finally at the begining of the work week they got it fixed.
