| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|

I think I am in no danger with windows millenium |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm fine as i'm running this on a modified Atari ST (lie) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm in no danger because I'm not stupid. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think you can run the net on an Atari ST actually i mean, ok the browser isn't gonna run most things, but i'm sure i saw something in a computer mag ages ago (im talking like 1998 here) about someone who surfed the net on their Atari |
||||||||

|
|
Ok, for people who suck at comput0rw3b (not me of course) which patch should you download from microsoft? There are like a million. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My phone is safe at the moment. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what phone is it that you're on again mate? is it the Nokia 6600? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have 3 now. I have the Mpx200, The SE P900 and the Motorola V600. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh you bastard!!!!!!!! i want the P900!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i'm so jealous :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
How would I tell if I have it? I disabled the restart thing. It's so stupid it's set to that. I just set it to "Take no action". |
||||||||

blaster is the 60sec countdown. It works on the RCP (remote call procedure) and can affect computer stability and can cause an unreliable internet connection. There are patches you can download from Windows Update and there is a symantec app to kill it if you are infected. Don't panic though cos the 60 sec countdown can be cause by various errors and not just this worm/virus. |

To help protect your computer against the Sasser worm and its variants, you must first download and install security update 835732, which was released with Microsoft Security Bulletin MS04-011. Note If you installed the updates for MS04-011 manually or through Automatic Updates before Friday, April 30, then you are already protected against this issue. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
Also check for a process named DLLHOST as it can hide under this name. Don't search and destroy though as Microsoft has a file named the same thing (The hackers are clever you see). Then maybe check your startup, it can be hidden. There are so many versions so it's hard to check for exact symptoms. |

what is the exact window update to get rid of this? link? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It seems I have all the windows updates, so it must have done it automatically with one of them. |
||||||||
|

i just updated my laptop (which is fuckoring up majourly) and it didnt fix it. Just formatted it so it cant be virus, or can it. had problem on this PC a while ago and update fixed it , hmmmmm |
||||||||
|
|

Could I have the worm? I don't know. This is what happens: Many websites, if I go to them, it only loads the chached copy, i.e., it doesn't load up new content. Like, I found it very strange that Fark hadn't updated for over 12 hours. But the problem was, I had to hit 'refresh' manually to update it. What the fuck is going on? Help, -Mappatazee |
||||||||

I think you should adjust your settings in your browser to update the website every time it is loaded... if you know what I mean. There is a setting for it. that's not worm behaviour anyway. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Where is de setting? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they actually had to close banks in finland because of this |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what browser are you using? it's in the cache-setting. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well I will just clear the cache or something. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah. you need to set the browser to always reload the page on every visit (and not use the cached website). It's in the (cache)settings of your browser. |
||||||||
|

I don't know what the hell is going on. I download "things" and the downloads freeze in a few minutes. Both with mozilla 1.6 and ultra mega on the edge hip FIREFOXTM |
||||||||

I'm immune *does a dance around the equinox like so many pagens* Mac, Linux, BSD, Palm, Mwahahaha. |
||||||||

thought you were running Windows on your PeeCee? |

i went to windowsupdate.com then i got the StingerV2.2.4, but this is at my work. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My Windows XP box is for playing games and is NEVER connected to the internet or any kind of a network not even for updates. windows is just too unsecured I can'a be bothered to sort it out. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ah i see no problemo then :) oh yeh, i dunno if you know or not, but they released C&C: Generals for Mac a while back........don't bother getting it you know the trouble you had running it on PC? it's supposed to have been ported really badly, so even on a good spec machine it crawls. a very bad port :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've already installed required patch and now I'm safe. Although our LAN works really slow lately. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, but what the hell is cutting off my downloads? I tried downloading opera and the download almost worked. The DL speed popped up to an amazing 576kB/s, but it only managed to get 61% of the 15.7MB file. I don't think I have sasser, but something is terribly wrong. The symtoms: Regular surfing: OK File download: Freezes network traffic and I have to reboot to get it going again. If I try to surf straight after the freeze, Mozilla just goes "resolving host..bla bla" and then nothing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The page reload thing wasn't fixed looks like. I don't know what the hell is up with that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah i updated mine yesterday upon hearing about it on the news. my system is clean thankfully. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

It's so fucked up: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarg! I downloaded a new protection programma "F-secure", via microsoft btw, and after installing my comp had to be restarted, well that's the only thing it does right now, restarting; it doesn't go further, the only thing I can do is get into my bios; HELP WANTED!! I'm now at work, maybe someone had the simular problem before? I'm using win2000 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yo be fucked, son. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
-->Boot with start up disk -->"format C:" -->Re-install windows. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes thank you; I already knew that one |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
here in belgium our phone company blocked the ports used by the worm so you normally can't get it here, thanks for once to those suckers... |

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Microsoft is ridiculous! After updating WinXP [Sasser patch and other newest updates] I had to install Blaster patch [KB823980] for the second time! Also I've noticed that installation of SP1a removes the installation of KB823980!! This is insane :-x |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you're only just coming to this realisation? |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
I have that fucking blue screen so i havent been able to go on my computer :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Damn. My subscription for Norton Antivirus expired months ago, and I have to pay for it to get a new one. =( Well, at least I can trust Ad-Aware. Still, considering I'm on a PC that runs off of WinXP, I could be at risk. |
