Updated You Virus Definitions!!!! Asap!!!

What's the name of the blaster worm???

 

Symptons?

- Shen

 

It causes massive slowdown, high network utilization, and then it overflows the LSASS service and causes a shutdown.

 

the blaster worm

Linux it is for a while. I keep spending more and more time with it.. Stuff like this just gives added incentive

 

Hehe true. Linux is tempting at the moment.

It merges within the WinXP / WinNT / Win2000 IP system, and to avoid it, update your virus defintions and your windows.

Good luck.

I know this is like the most stupidest thing you'll ever hear for a while... but I havn't even got the first service pack. I'm aware of how important these packs are but most of the stuff I have on my computer... OS and all.. is if you like 'illegal' and thus do not allow them to be installed.... other than reinstalling windows with a licensed serial number (which is the reason why it's not installing) is there another way of getting these packs...?

- Shen

 

Well Shen, do i have a great deal for you!!
...i think youd like this * evil laughter *
I can give you a legal winxp pro cd key ... want it? just pm me for it..and i'll send it... you wont be dissapointed... got 18 legal cd keys MUHAHHAH
i hope i aint breaking the rules by NOT posting the cd key in here ...in PUBLIC

 

Aye, bold should only be used in urgent situations. Like this one!

You don't have to open a mail, or visit a site to get this worm. You just have to be connected to the internet (and firewall-less).

As far as I can tell, it affects NT based systems only (not windows 98) - just like the Blaster worm. Strange as it seems, windows 9x sometimes seems more secure nowadays than NT based systems like XP.. I was going to upgrade my parents' computer to XP, but I wonder now if I should. DCOM, Blaster, Sasser.. etc the list goes on. XP is like a sieve.

Downloaded the patch myself days and days ago but haven't installed it yet, mostly because I haven't bothered shutting down Linux and rebooting

 

Hmm...well if ya think this way...i suggest you wait for the next newest Operating System thats coming in a few years... its codename is LONGHORN i think...i hope they didnt changed it to somethin else ... but thats the codename of the newest OS thats out to be on the technical market.
But...i dont think it would help against those new viruses thats coming out of their hiding places..but longhorn is a bit more secured , cause its the newest on the list.

 

Longhorn has been coming "in a few years" for a very long time..

Longhorn was actually announced to be a desktop OS, with Blackcomb to be the next server OS. After a couple years though Microsoft said there would indeed be a server version of Longhorn as well. In other words, Longhorn = next XP (with a server version on the side)

That's what I thought Windows Server 2003 would be like (my main version of windows) but it catches everything XP does..

So where is Blackcomb anyway.. I remember when it was to be the next version after XP, before MS announced Longhorn, which would come first. With Longhorn maybe appearing by '07, Blackcomb could be ready in 6 years or so [/wild speculation]
