Billy Gates why do you make this possible?
 

A new worm dubbed Blaster but also known as LoveSan or MSBlaster, carrying a message for the Microsoft chairman: ?Billy Gates why do you make this possible? Stop making money and fix your software!!?

Get your patch here!

yeah I was hit with that worm yesterday :mad:

expert says home users to be most impacted

Just heard it on the news and at the same time a got a
popup on the screen saying it will close the computer due to an error somehwere !!!!

Yes, I had msblast.exe on the computer.
Just got it removed !!

Is there a patch for it? I have a few friends that are hit with it and I can't find a fix/patch anywhere

Ok... it affects win2k and XP. Go to Windows Update and you can fix it asap (or find out you are already infected)

Anybody can say - Microsoft is bullshit :)
But try to write better!!!! :1orglaugh
Could'nt?
Why?
Bill Gates - is one of powerfull man, who speed-ups all research in computer industry :)

The worm has infected at least 100,000 computers and has caused internal disruptions for many companies and Internet service providers.

so is there a patch for people who already have it? If it shouts the machine down in 30 seconds it would be hard to get an update from MS

most of my comps got hit yesterday

2) update your system

Do you think Bill Gates is surfing for porn ?

thanks

thanks for the info dude, but who cares who Bill Gates is, the fact that his software has been the target of most attacks, can you say your files are safe nowadays? no offense

Let's move to FREEBSD (freebsd.org)
or simply - linux :)

:BangBang:
New Russian release new OS !!!
CheatOS 2003 :)

damn script kiddies.

Sure, man :)
But if microsoft will not have bugs it will loose too many money :)
for example if you use illegal version of XP - you can't update your system via microsoft live update :)

And sure, if you don't like his software - go to freebsd.org :)))

Bill - doing correct :)))

His software has been the target of most attacks because his software powers 90%+ of the desktops and laptops in the world.

I know Win is seriously flawed, btw. ;) But be reasonable. If any other software powered the world, it would be the target of all the attacks and viruses.

KDE kicks ass
dont forget linux mandrake
with features "not bugs"

Kernel 2.4.21
XFree86 4.3.0
Glibc 2.3.1
GCC 3.2.2
Apache 2, Samba 2.2.7a, MySQL 4. 0.11, ProFTPD 1.2.7, Postfix 2.0.6, OpenSSH 3.5
KDE 3.1, GNOME 2.2, IceWM 1.2, WindowMaker 0.8, Enlightenment 0.16.5, Blackbox 0.62
OpenOffice.org 1.0.2, KOffice 1.2.1
Mozilla 1.3, The GIMP 1.2.3, XMMS 1.2.7

Man you're correct!!!
If all will use macOS or Linux for example - crackers/hackers will find too many errors in it too :)))

You all should always keep the Critical Update Notification tool running on your machines. If you had, you would have been alerted back on or around July 16th to patch your OS and you wouldn't be having these problems.

Visit windowsupdate.microsoft.com for the patch. Visit symantec.com for detail removal instructions if you think you already are infected. Search your systems for msblast.exe to find out.

2) update your system

it's looks some hackers write new version of it - it's now polymorth :)
so better way to be 100% ensure you don't have it - reinstall windows XP :) and sure on other HDD and doubly check all files from old one, before move them to new :)

search for msblast.exe and remove it.
if you can't remove it, look at symatechs site, they have script.

The Go Here to get the microsoft fix

Not the update zone so if you have no registered copy it
doesn't matter.

According to news you should do this asap cause
when millions of users wanna download the same
thing on their servers you might not succed installing
it before your computer restarts / crash.

Or just get a clue and run a firewall on your dedicated connections. No worries about patching if they cant touch the machines...

Cool, man, but mozilla release 1.4 :)
Anyway - you and i and about 0,1% of internet users use *NIX :)
He-he, try to explain some dummies how to install and work in linux, even in mandrake :)

Sure firewalls - best thing, but not microsoft :)

I was used FreeBSD, but anyway XP - have more things like Exel, Photoshop, Corel and so on... and sure games :)

so it's bad for me, cuz i use both OS on same pc :(
My old firewall pc - was down...

Who wanna help - me :) ? with money?

what and linux doesnt,

Sure firewalls - best thing, but not microsoft :)
on linux firewall is built right in all u have to do is configure

I was used FreeBSD, but anyway XP - have more things like Exel, Photoshop, Corel and so on... and sure games :)

looks like Bill has a Chinese origin :1orglaugh

Experts from Symantec says worm is slower than others because its code was poorly written, damage around the world limited so far...
:thumbsup

Are there still people that don't use a firewall?

I seriously wonder how some of you guys have made it this far

I heard BMW ( Bavaria ) got hit real bad :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh
