Sorry for continuing this OT thread, but I find it highly important. Spike, what you write is just plain wrong. Blaster is not dependant on email *at all*. Please, don't spread half-knowledge and confuse people with it. The only permanent cure against Blaster (or any other worm that is yet to come, exploiting the same vunerability) is to close Port 135, 139, 445 for remote access from the internet with a firewall (even the built-in fw in WinXP will do) and install the KB823980 patch from MS. *Anyone* with WinNT4, 2000 or XP is advised to do so immediately, read MS03-26. -- Best regards, Alexander (http://www.neurowerx.de) The release of atom power has changed everything except our way of thinking...the solution to this problem lies in the heart of mankind.
