Fix for reboot worm
#1
There is a worm going around at the moment that is pretty annoying. It does a popup box that give you 1 minute to close down all your stuff you are working on and then it will reboot. Well it will reboot after that 60 seconds even if you don't have everything closed down and/or saved. So like me you are in a mad rush to close down 15 different windows and make sure everything is saved before it reboots on you.


We have found a cure for it and a way to protect against it...

Win32 Blaster Worm security update and cleaner (Thank you Google.com and Slashdot.org for having the information)

Follow the instructions found on the page. Install the update first and then run the cleaner.


It infects Win NT4/Win 2000/WinXP If you have any of those operation systems you should install this patch. Please pass along all this information so that we can kill this worm before it spreads more.
