Thanks, Marina. But I guess my question was not very
clear. I was infected, but I deleted the msblast.exe
file, installed the patch, updated my virus defs, ran the
scan and now have a clean system. The problem now is
that my IP address can no longer be located by my friends
trying to access my shares, and I'm wondering if the
patch and other recent service packs are now blocking
external folks from browsing my shares.
Any thoughts from anyone? Thanks!
