You are preaching to the choir.

The repliers in this News Group are well aware that Kazaa, Morpheus and other Peer-to-Peer
(P2P) are conduits to many viruses, worms and Trojans. In fact their is a class of
infectors that are designed to live and breed in P2P networks. McAfee uses the suffix
!P2P to designate this in their naming convention.

Now about the Lovsan/Blaster nad Nachi/Welchia.

To removes the above infectors, download the McAfee worm removal tool,
Stinger: http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/ and install following patch for the RPC/RPCSS
Buffer Overflow Vulnerability that is addressed by Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-39
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=824146

Please read: http://www.microsoft.com/security/incident/blast.asp

You also need a FireWall. If you don't patch the PC and not use a FireWall then you will
just be re-infected.

I also suggest the installation of *ALL* MS Critical Updates ASAP.
