There is new info from yesterday of a new virus of msn. There is an attachment of full info here. PLEASE READ! also i recomenned you stay offline from your GCN. This could also mean corruption. Also you should unplug your phone line of both ends so the virus wont get into the cord and then get smacked in the face with the virus when you think its safe.I also recommend if you have a anti virus program plz update them!

Heh, nah its not that bad Ivan, it doesnt really do anything except shut down your pc, it gives you a minute warning aswell. Stupid hackers, whats the point? Just update your firewalls and you should be fine, read more about it
here.
Got nothing to worry about....only for Windows NT, ME and XP. Thank god Ive got Windows 98SE
. My anti-virus programs are upto date so I shouldnt really have to worry
.
Wot anti virus programs? lol
Ive got Windows 98SE, but my virus programs are about as old as the OS!!
i have xp but i dont have msn
its only on msn lol
It aint only for MSN. And the Anti-Virus stuff I have is:
Norton Anti-Virus 2003
Norton Internet Security (Firewall)
Best getting something like these. There really good. The main program gives you all kinds of mini programs to keep your computer away from viruses and to keep your computer healthy and work at its best. The Firewall simply protects you from unathaurised (think thats spelled right) access to your computer. In other words, stops people hacking into your computer and stuff. I strongly suggest you get some kind of protection going on your computer. Make sure its one of the upto date ones as these will protect you from almost anything.
Steps to Protect Yourself from the Blaster Worm
To protect yourself from the Blaster Worm and its variants, users of the following products: Microsoft Windows® 2000 Service Pack 2 or greater, Microsoft Windows XP, and Microsoft Windows Server™ 2003, should install "MS03-026: Security Update for Windows XP (823980)". Microsoft Windows NT4 users are also vulnerable and should click here for more information.
Users of Windows 2000 RTM or Windows 2000 SP1 should upgrade to the latest service pack and then install "MS03-026: Security Update for Windows XP (823980)".
Your computer is not vulnerable to the Blaster Worm if either of these conditions apply to you:
If you have already downloaded and installed the security update that was addressed by Security Bulletin MS03-026. The MS03-026 update will not be listed on Windows Update in this case.
If you are using Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition (SE), or Windows Millennium (Windows Me).
Why bother copying all the info from a site? By doing that you are unable to click the link were is says
"Microsoft Windows NT4 users are also vulnerable and should click here for more information."
As you can see you are unable to click it. Next time your best just giving the linnk to people.
