>From my ISP: 	
	
W32.Blaster.Worm is a worm that exploits the DCOM RPC vulnerability (described
in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-026) using TCP port 135. This worm attempts
to download and run the Msblast.exe file.  Windows 95, 98, and ME are not
affected by this new worm.
 
If you feel you are infected or want to ensure that you are not infected by the
MsBlatster worm, please download this file from Symantec.

It is very  important to keep your computer up to date to prevent issues like
this from happening.  Please go to Microsoft's Windows Update center at least
once a week to make sure you have all the updates for your computer.  Once you
get to this page just click on "Scan for updates" and then follow the simple
instructions.

Also, make sure that every computer that connects to the Internet has anti-virus
software installed and updated.  New viruses come out every day of the week.
