ATTENTION: W32.Blaster.Worm Circulating!

To anyone who is noticing erratic behavior on their PC - IE: timed shutdowns, system instability...

There's a virus that's wreaking havoc and spreading itself through the internet like wildfire. We got hammered by it here at work too.

It's called the W32.Blaster.Worm virus.

There's a fix for it though:

Story (and link to patch so it doesn't hit you again):

Link to Symantec (norton) fix for the virus:

Keep in mind this virus is not spreading via email -- it is sneaking in through TCP Ports 4444 and 135, and UDP port 69, so if you have a firewall, CLOSE THESE PORTS!
