[Taipan]

Another small and dedicated Blaster Worm removal tool by Symantec (168ko).

After download, it will scan your PC entirely just for the Blaster Worm, takes about 10-20 minutes.

My first post in AGES!!! What can I say, been working too hard.

I believe when you run this application, it scans the hard drive and then asks you to download a prevention patch. GET THE PATCH, as we've learned in the office, if you don't get the patch you can get the damn thing again, [img]images/graemlins/stupid.gif[/img] and the server won't connect to the net and the Chief Executive gives you 24 hours to flush it out of the system [img]images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] Oops.

So here's the very complete link from our favorite company in the world :

At least, it covers quite a lot of situations and operating systems, including how to activate the internal firewall of Windows XP (didn't know it had one until today...).
