In the past few weeks after completing a fresh install on
a new PC and after the customers requests doing all the
critical updates from the MS UPDATE site we have on 3
seperate occasions got the MBLAST worm installed.
This was checked and verified as NO other applications was
installed, no email address or accounts installed, just
the O/S ( WinXP-Pro) and Microsoft Critical Updates.
This morning I had a associate from the West Coast phone
me and he has now encountered the same exact problem.
I am not sure if somebody is monitoring connections to the
MS UPDATE site and using a BNC connection and placing the
worm virus on pc when connecting to the MS UPDATE site or
what. BUT, this needs to be looked at immediately.
