Blaster Worm

List,

Quite a few on our campus have been hit by this. Thankfully,
I'd installed the patch some time ago so I've had no problems.

Below is a link to our IT (Information Technology) page about
it in case anyone is interested.

There are a couple of other sites about it, also.

Another one going around is:

VBS.DDV.B, a worm virus. The subject is random
characters & an attachment named either
Win32system.vbs or Winsystem32.vbs.

Detection and removal information at:

www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/vbs.ddv.b.html

Keep those Windows systems (especially) and your
virus protection updated!!!!!!!!!! For your sake
as well as ours. :-)
