WARNING! MSBlast Worm is beginning to pick up again!

[Higher_Desire]

Even if you've downloaded and installed the patch, the MS Blast worm may still give you problems! Microsoft announced today that the worm may still be able to slither past the patch, and attack your computer.

Also, BEWARE OF E-MAILS! Some bastards are yet again illegally sending e-mails claiming to be a more secure patch to block the worm, but the e-mail is a virus that can do worse damage to your computers. If you get this e-mail DO NOT OPEN IT and DELETE IT IMMEDIATELY.

Strongest suggestions to best insure you don't recieve the worm or recieve it again is to not connect to the internet for the remainder of the night (Aug 15) and be extremely careful by connecting to the internet for the next few days.
--Run a new search by clicking on your start menu and click search, and search for msblast
--Do this a few times over the next few days if you connect to the internet.
--If you recieve it again, click ctrl, alt, and delete on your keyboard to open the Task Manager, click on the 2nd tab (Processes) and find MSBlast.exe, and turn it off by clicking the button in the lower right hand corner of the task manager. Then delete the worm from your computer through the search box.

It will be a few years before Microsoft is able to work out all kinks and holes in opperating systems, to allow complete security.
