MBlast aka LovSan affected Windows2000, WindowsXP, Windows2000 and Windows
2003 Servers who didn't download and install the critical patch and who
went
a-surfing on the internet. It did not affect any Win95/98/98se or ME PCs.

The MS newsgroups were horrible. It mainly affected home users who
don't/can't/won't use the Critical Updates. Those who did install them
either had a quiet or a very busy day helping those afflicted!

The Fix wasn't that hard.... but was hard was the the worm caused the PC
to
shutdown every five minutes leaving little time for them user to go get
the
patch.

The perpatrators of the virus probably thought that those poor souls
using "ME" had already suffered enough !
