Sounds like it. It apparently does different things on different versions of the operating system.

that\'s the worm, quick fix is delete msblast.  You can also type in shutdown -a in your command prompt, to override the shutdown and then download blaster fix from the symantec web site.

:rolleyes: Port 135 has no real reason to enter the network. Thus no magic GNOMES needed. Though it may all be magical to you.:D

This worm causes no real damange so for god sake dont fdisk and reinstall thats just stupid.


Norton isn\'t bad - I use it at home and haven\'t had a problem and when the worm infected my laptop I used the symantec cleaner to get rid of it.  FYI I use AVG on my laptop because it doesn\'t use many system resources.

I think most people who got this didn\'t have an up to date virus definition and secondly, the number one problem is the amount of people who didn\'t patch back in July when MS issued the announcement of the flaw.

I have no firwall, lotsa ports opened on my router, and no virus protection on my main machine and I didn\'t get the virus.  I just installed the patch weeks ago.  I heard tommorrow is supposed to be the day when the virus is going to launch an attack of MS\'s help site. :eek:

Most are listed for certain applications. It is not rocket science. Ports such as the messenger service have no use coming in. Hell port 80 should not be unless a connection is established. Unless of course you run a web server.

MM I realize you say you work with computers, but it appears the only work you do with them is post on boards non stop attempting to degrade individuals.

i didn\'t degrade anyone, it\'s like you hear something about computers on the news, and you regurgitate it here

most ports are NOT listed for certain apps.  below port 1024 is for common apps.  if messenger service has no use coming in, how will you get a message?

MM are you even aware of what messenger service 135 is?

If memory serves me right. It is the same port used in net send messages. Or atleast an initiator.

I also hate to break it to you, but it is not regurgitation off of the media. I am current in the IT field. I can list the initials behind my name if you wish. I almost guarantee it is a longer list than yours.

EDIT: MM don\'t take it personal. I am not, and doubt I ever will be a fan of software firewalls. Especially when you can pick up somthing like a cisco pix 501 for a couple hundred bucks. This part I am about to regurgitate from what I have read. I believe norton internet security had problems with this worm. The simple fact of the matter is that the operating system still controls the software.

EDIT again: Here is a quick list of tcp-ip ports used. You will notice a tremendous amount above port 1024. 1024 may have been the limit 2-3 years ago??

If the guy who coded the worm wanted it to attack MS Update at a certain date, wouldn\'t it be wiser if it didn\'t make itself visible with the whole "60 secs to restart" deal? People will know something\'s up and (try and) get rid of it... not the way I would have designed it personally. :)
