RPC DCOM Cleanup Worm Appears
UnderAttack writes "This morning, the SANS Internet Storm Center posted a note about an increase in ICMP traffic, including a quick initial analysis. As it turns out, yet another worm, this time the W32/Nachi.worm, is going around taking advantage of the RPC DCOM vulnerability. The twist this time: the worm will actually clean up machines. It tries to download the correct patches from Windows Update and remove the Blaster worm."
this is just like the futurama episode where Fry ate the "egg" sandwich which contained worms. the worms turned Fry in an intelligent, muscle man. very cool episode.
I know you're joking but that wouldn't make for a very good introduction to Linux. The last thing we need to hinder adoption is to have a virus associated with Linux, ok, there's already SCO but that's more than enough.

OK, I'll give it a shot:-
A surgeon, a priest and an engineer are out one sunny day for a round of golf. Arriving at the third tee they are already frustrated to find that the party before them is still stuck there. Their caddy goes to try and find out what's causing the hold up. He comes back and reports that the party ahead is made up of three blind golfers, and it's obviously taking them some time to get the ball into the hole.
"Oh", says the priest, "I'll be thinking of them next Sunday, and will make sure to pray for them, I'll also ask the congregation to pray for them. Surely God can work a miracle and help them get their sight back".
"Well", says the surgeon, "I wouldn't be relying on God if I were you, but perhaps one of my colleagues at the hospital could help them out. With all the recent advances in medicine and technology surely their must be some way of curing their blindness".
He looks over at the engineer, expectantly.
"Hmmm", says the engineer, "why can't they just play when it's dark?"
lisa... "dad the only reason you bought that cup was for the gummy worms."
bart... "yeah and the only reason you wanted the gummy worms was to catch gummy fish."
homer... *reaches over and pulls part of a gummy fish mounted on the wall* "mmmm. and it was worth every dime."
disclamer: this was grosly ad-libbed but a scene such as this did happen in the latest simpsons.I used to but then I quit.
People who do not know how to use Windows Update are not created by worms.

More specifically, Windows users are like GM owners. They believe that they are driving a top notch quality reasonably new vehicle only to find themselves on the side of the road, broken down. These people refuse to believe that their car IS A PIECE OF SHIT.
Do you mean to imply that FixOrRepairDaily owners are any better off? What about DamnOldDirtyGasEater owners?
Will I retire or break 10K?
And there is absolutely no correlation between eating habits and acne. Chocolate, greasy foods, etc don't cause zits. Keep on grabbing your subway sandwich. Your parent can keep on grabbing their cheetos and double quarter pounders with cheese.
You really have no idea what you are talking about unfortunately.
Acne has a great deal of correlation with all these things, the the greatest example being facial edema. That particular condition simply does not exist in parts of the world where a non-western diet is consumed. It is virtually impossible to find someone who suffers from facial edema who does not have acne.
Acne is caused by water retention pure and simple, and the vast quantities of heat damaged protein ingested by the masses causes the effect. Just as when you eat onions and your sweat thus smells as such, your body excretes these foreign protentious substances through your skin. Water is then attracted, pinching off sebum canals which hydrate your skin with a lipid like substances.
Dry skin, acne, and facial swelling are all related to the same thing: heat damaged protein.
Here is a great site which not only has hundreds of documentations to major medical journals, it has great information on how to eat a raw diet successfully.
I have had 10 friends try this diet, and not a single one has not seen some improvement in the quality of their skin. Most didn't even know it was possible to NOT have dry skin.
Anyway, I suggest to all who want to look and feel healthier... try it for two weeks. If it doesn't work, fine. You haven't lost anything.
I don't read or respond to AC posts
Yeah, because Gaim is sooo much better than Trillian.
