Reply to New worm attacking NT based PC's on the net: firewall and patch in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

This worm is expected to unleash itself this weekend....if you cannot get thru to MS update site (and it will get more difficult as time goes on, and in fact will probably go off line completely on Saturday since this site is the target of the worm), here is a back door to the file. Download the file (it will save to your hard drive) for your OS and and then install.........http://www.microsoft.com/security/incident/blast.asp <A HREF="https://www.wincustomize.com/index.asp?Cmd=

You can't link to a file on your HD....has to be URL. Find ani.gif on web and paste address into the image icon at right. Right click on banana (properties) and practice with that address...... <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/sb.gif" border=0

Remember that it is testing for outgoing connections so if you can, try to make as few proggies as possible capable of acting as a server. At the very least try to program it so they have to ask permission. Very honestly, some firewalls are going to leak (outbound) no matter what you do. For what it's worth, better to have a leak going out then coming in. If your "Shields Up' (inbound) port test gave you a pass then I wouldn't worry about it.......

Removing autostart entries from the registry prevents the malware from executing during startup. Open Registry Editor. To do this, click Start>Run, type Regedit, then press Enter. In the left panel, double-click the following: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>Software>Microsoft> Windows>CurrentVersion>Run In the right panel, locate and delete the entry: ”windows auto update" = MSBLAST.EXE Close Registry Editor. restart your system.

The easiest way to see if you have it is run Task Manager and see if Msblast.exe is running in processes. If it is, kill it and do the song and dance with the registry. Guess I should have supplied edits to Registry: Removing autostart entries from the registry prevents the malware from executing during startup. Open Registry Editor.
