re: More info on RPC hack attempts Tuesday, August 12, 2003 at 1:49 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by caitnelson (2 messages posted) Okay I did some more poking around and found these two pages: http://www.techtv.com/news/securityalert/story/0,24195,3498394,00.html a page explaining the worm and giving some resources for fixing it/learning more. and http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.blaster.worm.removal.tool.html the free symantec program for removing the worm from your computer. If anyone else has any other ideas, please let me know - thanks!
