If you want to beat the worm, and get rid of your
trouble, go to that page.

The worm effects all users, and not via E-mail
attatchments, and so on, as first suspected. It spreads
throuh the internet through your PC too!! It will first
couse severe trouble, disabeling and corrupting/shutting
down your system, giving several codes and information
about how your system is shut down (RPC, NT-
AUTHORITYSYSTEM etc)

It is designed to make trouble for all Microsoft users,
and it will leave a small prg on your pc, sending out
numerous update-requests to microsofts homepage ( the 16
or 17 of august) and makes microsofts servers crash. That
means none of us will get updates from windows while
theire attacked!!

For more info and to help others, please send me an E-
mail with info "how you did it", or and post it on here.

The webpage teaches you to turn enable firewalls (when
did, you should be ok to download updates) It teaches you
step by step how to cope with the BLASTER...

I really hopes this helps, been up all night to beat it
my self.
