The whole world has heard about it.

Go to microsoft.public.windowsxp.security_admin
newsgroups where you will find a vast amount of useful
messages of all the problems.

Blaster worm virus. I believe I am affected.

Immediately press Ctrl+Alt+Del, click Task Manager, and find any of these
three files that may be present:
MSBLAST.EXE
PENIS32.EXE
TEEKIDS.EXE

If any is present, select it then click "End Process."

To finish removing the worm and protect yourself against it in the future,
you can follow these instructions:

Hi Bill,

To stop the reboots: Go to Start/Run and type in: services.msc. Scroll down
to Remote Procedure Call (RPC)/Recovery/First Failure/Restart the Service.

Close Windows Explorer, run the edit on line 257 which includes the prompt
for the patch once your system has been cleaned. This script removes all
variants of the W32.Blaster.Worm (original, b and c).
