167607 2003-08-14 02:32:00 Hello My friends,
The new blaster worm!
Excuse my ignorance I have windows me. That is safe is it not? I get confused with windows 2000.
I have done a windows update scan and all is clear no critical updates shown. I also have run my anti virus AVG and no horrors. Computer is behaving normally.
Also have updates automatically on all the time and download every thing they suggest .
Regards

167609 2003-08-14 02:37:00 windows me is NOT afftected by this attack but it is good to see that you have doen all updates, scaned the system and asked when you are not sure.

congratulations you have done all the right things!!
if more people did this then the internet would be a safer place.

167610 2003-08-14 02:37:00 Going by Microsoft's website the worm only effects Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003.

Not Windows 95, 98 or ME so you are safe! :)
