Topic: Don't Ask Me How...Do I Have the Blaster Worm?

[IceFox]

yes I know this worm is 3 years going on 4 old and has been defeated buuuuuut....

I got this error:



I have heard that when I get this error, it's the worm, but I have also heard that the worm only exploits NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM automatic reboot and makes it worse.

So far I have only gotten this error once (in the entire time on this computer...3+ years). I am thinking its just my computer being it's usual retarded self because I downloaded nothing recently, didn't go to any "odd" sites, and haven't installed anything recently either.

Run a virus/spyware scan? O_o;;

[Shinya]

O.O That IS the Blaster worm! I should know, I had it once... Darn thing kept on shutting down my comp!

Do you have XP Service Pack 2?  If you do, then all the updates that stop it should already be installed...

That's odd...but yeah that is Blaster Worm.

I have SP2. I did a virus scan. I only got the error once. No worm.

[Shinya]

hmm... that's VERY odd... security loophole perhaps? Blaster v2 spreading, maybe?

I have SP2. I did a virus scan. I only got the error once. No worm.

Then it's possible that was an actual program error and not a virus.

That's exactly what I said in the post you quoted...

No, it's not.  You said:

Those are quite different.

[IceFox]

Apparently your reading skills aren't up to speed? I think I would know what I said more than you. I said that it wasn't a worm, implying that it was a program error/system error.

[Shinya]

Ok. Let's not turn this into a flame war...

So, it might've been an error, as Roger implied... I don't see how the Blaster worm would work on SP2...

[IceFox]

Yeah, I apologize for my harsh words, I was in a bad mood.
