I totally agree. A couple of our home users got wormed. What's the point.
Why didn't the worm install the patch instead of whinging. Now that would be
impressive!

what a nasty worm this one is. Just once I would like to see a virus do
something useful like fix a flaw or something.

you have got MCSE, MCP+I etc after you name and you trusted the built in
Microsoft firewall??
Could another locally infected computer have gotten you?

Hi there,
I was infected by MSBlast the other day and hit again while repairing
it yet I was running Internet Connection Firewall (default config
including logging and no services enabled)
As Microsoft points out in MS03-026, "If you are using the Internet
Connection Firewall in Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 to protect your
Internet connection, it will by default block inbound RPC traffic from
the Internet."
Okay I should have patched anyway but the firewall should have
protected me. I checked the settings while I was patching and was hit
again...
Logs show nothing at all.
How was I infected?
Regards,
Joe Mulhall
