Post subject:  What You Should Know About the Blaster Worm
At 11:34 A.M. Pacific Time on August 11, Microsoft began investigating a worm reported by Microsoft Product Support Services (PSS). A worm is a subclass of a virus that generally spreads without user action and distributes complete copies (possibly modified) of itself across networks. A worm can consume memory or network bandwidth, thus causing a computer to stop responding.

Update Several antivirus companies have responded and written tools to remove the Blaster worm.

Who Is Affected?
Users of the following products are affected:

Microsoft® Windows NT® 4.0
Microsoft Windows® 2000
Microsoft Windows XP
Microsoft Windows Serverâ„¢ 2003

I was actually going to post that soon as I heard about it Scify but I think I would have come off as sounding sarcastic. I'm glad to see some of you haven't got hit. From what I understand there is a message attached to the worm as well. Something along the lines of "Hey billy Gates fix your software " or some such thing.
