A NEW WORM STRIKES
W32/Blaster-A Worm spreads like lightning

The latest pernicious worm to assault the internet community is the W32/Blaster-A Worm. And boy, is it spreading like wildfire all across the `Net!

XP, NT, or Windows 2000 users are the likely culprits. If a user is lucky enough to be hit by this worm, they are constantly being knocked off the net & forced to reboot their OS. It ends up being a vicious circle.

Microsoft talks about the fix here.

Synmantec - God bless them - offers a free cleaner here.
