Blast Virus Monday, August 11, 2003 at 2:48 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by DeeJay (1 messages posted) I can confirm that this problem is being caused by the W32.Blaster Worm. Check out http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.blaster.worm.html Truth be told - it's a bit of an arse, and incredibly scary for those not in the know. Like symantec suggest - it's pretty much harmless, apart from duplicating itself and using resources (which can do funny things to ur system). Hope this info helps.
