Does anyone have a screen shot of the actual shut down dialog box that appears when infected by the worm?
Try Wired ran a shot yesterday.
Err… There should have been a “. They” between “Wired” and “ran.”
If you are trying to find out if you are infected, simply use the windows search function to look for “msblast.exe”, if it is there, you are infected.
Nah, Im putting up signs in my dorm room asking people if they need help. My computers good to go! Thanks for the pic!
I got something like that the other day, although I’ve downloaded the patches from Microsoft whenever I’ve gotten them. I was leery. So i just clicked on the “x” and closed the window. My computer never did actually shut down. Then later it happened again. This time I hit “alt-ctrl-del” to shut it down and I swear that when I highlighted it from the task list, it said something about “discountbob.com” or something like that. Looked to me like an ad trying to take advantage of the worm scare. Anybody else have that happen? BTW, I did search for the worm file and don’t have it. Oh, and the first window said the worm had been detected and "click here to get rid of it. Real fishy.
