ARGH! Worms

Leroy · 18th August 2003, 11:15 AM

I took a four day vacation, get back to work, get sent down here to take a look at the computers - Had to clean up two that had the blaster.worm.

This third one is giving me problems. What a way to spend my first day back from vacation. You would think they'd pay a professional to clean up this mess and leave me to my work.

does anyone know if the worm has effected Apple Mac or just windows

I believe Blaster is limited to XP/2000 machines only. Macs, Linux, NT, and even older Windows machines can't get it.

Leroy posted a private message, and then told us of his "rule". So what prevents Leroy from posting any other private message, citing rules the people who PM'd him knew nothing about? Nothing. It is a matter of trust. Nobody can trust Leroy with anything. I would strongly advice against people even contacting Leroy in private - they cannot know how their words will be used, abused or misconstrued. In fact, they can be pretty sure that their words will be used, abused, and misconstrued, when Leroy finds it prudent. Not "if". "When". __________________
