This one is really nasty. The Blaster worm is wreaking havok all over the internet. If your Windows 2000 or XP machine happens to become infected, it will be used in a denial of service attack (IF it's able to keep running). This worm only infects XP and 2000 machines but everybody should immediately update their anti-virus deffinitions to prevent further spreading. XP and 2K users should go here to apply a patch to prevent this from happening.
