after lookin on another message board, i found a direct link to a patch. ~1.26mb

Blaster Worm: Critical Security Patch for Windows XP (http://microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=2354406C-C5B6-44AC-9532-3DE40F69C074&displaylang=en)

JD called me up to make sure i found it(thanks) and said he has it on disk. it may be the same patch i linked above.

I get constant attempts from a couple of other viruses that have just shown up. I use a program called Black Ice that will stop anything coming in, and show you when it happened. Just an FYI.

ditch Black Ice and get Zonealarm. BI had to many holes a while back (could be fixed now, but who knows)

I had Zone Alarm on my computer a while ago. When it would popup with what was trying to get in, I would give the IP and all that a buddy of mine that could hack and all that computer stuff that I can't do and let him play with them.

That was the exact same thing that happened to my computer, it was down for a while. I got that patch too and it cleared it right up! Damn that worm.

A final, advanced, step to fully secure your network is to close port 135/tcp (and, if possible, 135-139, 445 and 593), and monitor TCP Port 444 and UDP Port 69 (tftp), which are also utilized by this worm.
