| 166965 | 2003-08-13 07:32:00 | Lol he's probably not making it up. He probably disabled a few services from starting up :P | PoWa (203) | ||
| 166966 | 2003-08-13 07:35:00 | No doesnt affect WinMe which is what my desktop is. My laptop however is XP, but on hearing that the intention is a DOS on M$, maybe I'll leave it unpatched until 17/8 ]:) | parry (27) | ||

I'm wondering why the virus creator didn't set the upcoming DOS attack on MS to start from say the 13/14. Seems everyone is getting it about now. Too much longer and everyone will have the thing fixed! |

I dont blame MS for this at all, the patch has been out for a few weeks, who patched there system before yesterday?? ( I did :-) ) </rant mode off > |

| 166969 | 2003-08-13 08:34:00 | Hi John, If you are interested in knowing a bit more this link (www.xfocus.org) is supposedly a proof of concept for the DCOM exploit :D Personally I think it is primarily to exploit the Joe Blow user rather than corporates. Who in their right mind would pin-hole 135 :) |

| 166970 | 2003-08-13 10:07:00 | ROFL. I like your style. I'm wondering why the virus creator didn't set the upcoming DOS attack on MS to start from say the 13/14. Seems everyone is getting it about now. Too much longer and everyone will have the thing fixed! Ive been thinking about the dates and my spin on it is this.... 1) If you reek havoc for a few days before payload date the publicity level is greater - exactly what the culprit wants. 2) How many people will be ringing MS or downloading from their site?Heaps!! This has a similar effect to the actual virus itself - it causes lots of work at MS with an increase of traffic on their site. 3) He obviously wants MS worried and the world to know about it. Builds the tension if you leave it for a few days. |

| 166972 | 2003-08-13 20:19:00 | Thanks John Grieve, your procedure gave me time to get onto the Symantec site, use the removal tool, then download the patch from microsoft. Whew, what excitement! |

| 166973 | 2003-08-14 08:16:00 | so in theory the virus only intends to piss everyone off and not "exactly" do any harm..so what will happen to windowsupdate.com when this is triggered...just out of curiostiy | Beef (1415) | ||
