Anyone get Blastered yet? Had a freind call me up this morning and he apparently has the blaster worm infection. His system won't stay connected to the internet, he is on netscape, for any extended length of time. Not good. He has norton but this thing was just released yesterday and he got this morning. We had internet problems at the office today and the provider thinks we may have it too. Sounds like those who got the patch released by microsoft recently should be covered.

Here's a direct link to TechNet (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/security/bulletin/MS03-026.asp) . Scroll down and choose your O/S and download the patch. Gives you a head start when playing Beat the Clock before your system shuts down.
