I know it's been discussed before (and still is), but make sure to protect your Windows box before this Saturday. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Download the patch, that is... :) |
||||||||
|
|

Why Saturday specifically? |
||||||||
|

"The 'time bomb' in the worm's code, discovered by anti-virus and security researchers, will turn every infected system into a DoS agent on August 16, this Saturday. The systems will begin sending random strings of data to the windowsupdate.com Web site in an attempt to knock it offline." |

coordinated attack against ms update site. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|

Thank you. You receive a giginger thumbs up for usefulness :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
You get one too phob :) I'll extend it to two in your case because of that "little" discog thing :) |

Lucky me. I use WinME so no worries here! :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
too bad that WinME chokes on fat dicks :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Wait a minute... whose side are you on?? We need to help the worm win in the battle against bill gates and microsoft's monopoly! |
||||||||

|
i dunno if i've got the 32 or 64 bit version of XP. i sure as hell didn't pay for it...any way to find out? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i wasn't sure either. i've got winxp pro and i downloaded the 32bit patch. it worked fine for me |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
alright. i'll do that, then. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah get the 32bit patch. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeap. it worked. ...yay? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
damn rright yay :), it neverr worrked forr me to begin with :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Unless you have some really new motherboard of pentium xeon processor you prolly have the 32-bit version. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah it does suck dick - big nasty dicks. I plan to replace it very soon after I find out this soundcard problem. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
your soundcard problem may be winME. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lol :) |
||||||||
|
|

Okay, patch worked, but after a search for msblast, the 'msblast' application is still there in c:\windows\system and there's a 'MSBLAST.EXE-09FF84F2.pf' file in c:\windows\prefetch. Can I just delete these two to get rid of it? Or is there some sort of virus scan thing I should do? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If you delete those two they reappear next time you use the net, i think there's a worm dialer thing as well to get rid of, might be called access.exe but my memory isn't too hot. I'd recommend virus scanning, the newest update of AVG worked for me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is WinME known to just completely disacknowledge the existence of certain hardware? Seriously? Cause if so, WinME will be gone THIS WEEK. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The only reason it won't be gone tonight is because I'm out of CDR's. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if the patch isn't working use a firewall like zonealarm, then it will stop the worm fucking with your download of the patch: then i used www.B0P.me.co.uk/FixBlast.exe to sort it THEN it links you to the patch, cos the straight windows patch cant cut the mustard on its own... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sorry, let me rephrase "the microsoft patch cant always sort it alone" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i've got the best virus protection for that shit it's called a MAC-IN-TOSH |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this is Y2K all over again |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||

Came home from a three day trip to Amsterdam, and immediately both my laptop and my desktop pc at home got this fucking virus. I was up till about 2.30am this morning, dealing with the shit. Thanks pOgO, for all the information here...I've downloaded the Symantec Removal tool, and things seem to be OK on my laptop, from which I am posting from now. I had reinstalled Windows last night (I know I know...I didn't need to do that, but I won't take shit off my PC), and when I did, it still kept coming up with the same error. My Desktop PC is having Windows XP reinstalled as I type this message, now I know how to deal with the matter properly. People that write viruses should be fucking killed!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well I hope you had a good trip sir. I managed to get this fixed, I fucking hope, last night after 4 hours. Not a happy fucking bunny. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Actually pOgO it was the other thread I read, but thanks to every one here who posted info.....I had bookmarked these pages, and was frantically writing down on paper the instructions listed here ....beofre the system would auto shutdown. I must have rebooted about 7 times :( Thanks also to my mate eXXailon, whom I was chatting to when this problem first cropped up, and for posting me the links here and saying "Someone else has your problem!" ....'cos at that time, I didn't have a fucking clue what was going on. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
So chris... did you bring a virus back with you? Hope you used a strong firewall out there son! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you need to make sure that you have your firewall enabled at all times as it's attacking open ports even with the virus still on your pc, if you have no connection to the internet the pc will not restart. I find that quite bizarre =o\ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
How do I know if I've got the patch that worked? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm reinstalling Windows right now, yeah? (I have two drives, all my data on Drive D:) So my drive C: is blank. So what I'm doing is reinstalling Windows XP, then I will run the fix tool without being connected to the net, then install the Microsoft Fix, then install Norton Anti-virus, then connect to the internet and run Live-Update. Should be OK shouldn't it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Dude, it wasn't bad enough that you need to reinstall windows.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I know....I guess I slightly over reacted. It will do the computer good anyway, I had so much shit installed. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
as long as you don't connect withough a firewall are you using USB or ethernet ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I connect using Ethernet. The Windows Firewall doesn't allow me to use file transfer in messenger, and I'm not that impressed with Zone Alarm Pro (?!?!?). I thought the Microsoft patch dealt with this matter |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the thing is, it'll fix it but if you connect without a firewall, you'll have an open connection which will be attacked I'd advised you suffer without file transfer untill this whole thing has blown over =os |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Is the Windows Firewall sufficient? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
aye |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
??? English dear girl!??! ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
da yes oui affermative correct ci |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ME finaly good for somethin it would probley do more damage to the virus |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I seem to be about the only person who's applied this patch before ever seeing the problem. No early shutdowns for me. |
