"The worm launches a command shell and uses TFTP to connect to other infected systems to download the worm's executable. MSBlaster will scan addresses in the Internet to locate vulnerable Windows machines using TCP/TDP port 135.

Unsuccessful propagation attempts may crash vulnerable computers, or render them unstable."
