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. http://www.msnbc.com/news/951393.asp?0cv=CB20 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.

Had to go after XP and 200x, ME wouldn't stay up long enough to know
if it was the virus or ME itself causing the reboot ;-) On Wed, 13 Aug 2003 15:40:49 GMT, "JAD" wrote: OH no You mean that POS 'ME' wasn't infected?
