OT - Ding Dong, the Wicked Worm is dead...

The good? news?

I don't know if I just got lucky or if the BLasted BLaster could not find our xp system since our ME system sits between it and the web. It is now patched.

Link below is to an artical that puts one sorta bright note on this worm.

Caution: There are popups at the above link.

In the end, however, BLaster could do Users a favor. A serious--but not devastating--worm of its type might help inoculate the Internet community against future variants that are more virulent, the experts say.
