167303 2003-08-13 01:32:00 Apparently there's a nice, shiny, new, unfriendly worm running around that affects machines running the newer NT-based operating systems, namely Win2000 and WinXP

Anyone heard about where you can find the fix for it? Tried out google, but I'm obviously not too good with my search terms.

I'm sure there are many people out there who would be wanting this one...

167308 2003-08-13 09:35:00 go here (www.microsoft.com) and select the language you want.

MS download site is very busy so if you don't get in first time just keep trying.

167311 2003-08-13 11:31:00 I should have added DON"T use system restore 'til you are sure it's removed veterannz (960)
167312 2003-08-13 12:04:00 correct, this will remove the problem but not the cause, NT kernal based systems still need to be patched (NT, win2000, XP etc)
also if you go to my ealier post it will take you to the symantec (norton) site where you find a cleaner and removal intructions. then once thats all done go to the site "CYaBro" posted that should cure the cause

good luck everyone
