I had the worm yesterday and first I tried using Norton's to identify the bug.. which came up as this dandy w32.blaster.worm bug which is only affecting NT, Xp, 2000, and 2003 OS. The easiest solution if you ask me is download the patch and if you have Norton' quarrantine the file: msblast.exe which is in the Windows/System folder. Then run the patch and you shouldn't have any problems as far as i know. From what I understand Microsoft may be putting out a updated version of this patch.
