Hi,

What you describe is a vulnerability from August of 2003 that was exploited
by the W32/Blaster.worm. To fix this problem, perform the following steps:

1. Go to WindowsUpdate.com and download ALL of the latest patches. If your
computer tries to shut down at any time during this, go to the Start menu,
and then Run. Type in "shutdown -a" (without the quotes) and press OK.

2. Install the patches.

3. If you don't have an updated antivirus program, get a new one or update
your old one. This is important, because it is probable that you will be
infected by worms that appeared after W32/Blaster.worm.

Hope this helps. Feel free to post back if you need more assistance.

Sincerely,
Benjamin Johnstone-Anderson
