Important: Virus is running wild!

[SpecOp9]

Some of you may be experiencing a serious problem with your computer which causes it to reboot every sixty seconds. ...

=================================
*EDITED BY NOON416*
1. We're not Tech Support

2. If you're already infected you won't be able to read this post anyway (the timeframe of 60 seconds actually varies between 10-120 depending on when the virus decides you're connected).

3. The virus (either W32.Blaster.Worm, W32/Lovsan.Worm or Worm_MBlast.A) IS detected by Norton and McAfee antivirus once the definitions are up to date.

4. If people need to fix it, they can do so by following the instructions posted at anti-virus vendor sites or their ISP sites.
The reason for that is simply down to liability, and our exposure to it by you posting the 'fixblaster' links and instructions.

5. In future, please refrain from posting "Public Service Announcements" that are not OFP related. There are hundreds of other sites better equipped to deal with these sort of issues.

==================================

Sorry OFPEC,
But sending a news submission would take much to long for Publish  :-\

Seeing as how this worm struck full-out yesterday this post was too late as well.
If people use their automatic update for windows as they should, this would not even be a problem since there's a hotfix that closes the RPC-hole that allowed this worm to get in.

I agree 110% with what Sefe said in http://www.ofpec.com/yabbse/index.php?board=4;action=display;threadid=12159 this post before locking it.

Spec Op, this is NOT a place for you to make public service announcements.

The title of the forum is OFPEC Comments. If it's not about OFPEC, don't post it!
