For those not aware of this, a new virus/worm struck yesterday and infected
100's of thousands of machines using Windows 2000 and XP. Win 95, 98 and ME ARE
NOT effected.
The worm exploits the DCOM RPC vulnerability and causes the PC to shut down in
60 seconds whenever connected to the internet.
See
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.blaster.worm.html
for a removal tool and instructions for doing it manually.
