Interesting development.  Most of you have heard about the W32.blaster.worm virus that is going around.  If you live under a rock and haven't heard about it or fixed your system yet, here is the info you will need.

The word I got is that it only affects Win NT, Win 2000 and Win XP systems. 

Here is a link to Symantec's site with a description of the problem.

If you go here you can DL a tool to get rid of the virus:

This virus is one of the reasons I tell people they should go and check for updates from MS weekly at the very least.
