blaster

[matt cox]

i have now recieved blaster 3 times in the last 2 days
and it always does the damage even after applying the
patch and fix from symantec and i also have an up to date
norton antivirus 2003.
what should i do

 

[Brian]

go to www.microsoft.com/downloads

in the top downloads there is a critical patch for the
blaster virus. Download and install. Having already
patched with the symantic patch however you may get into
a bind loop crash after appling the MS patch.

because norton antivirus says its just removed that virus
then the rpc thing happens about a minute later and then
i have no choice it restarts my pc

You need to apply the patch from Microsoft as well. Turning on XP's built
in firewall will help as well.
