ShopTalk: W32Blast worm

[Al Taylor]

As publicized, this latest worm needs attention.  Your Windows system may 
need a patch.  I use Win 2k Pro and needed service pack 4.  Below is the 
URL to M/S for the Windows patch.  Also, the Symantec site for this worm is 
below.  The Symantec site has a removal tool and a link to M/S for the 
patch.  The M/S site scans your computer to check for any updates you might 
need and then lets you download and install them.  Pretty handy for us 
un-techied.  Takes a bit of time but guess it is worth it.
