Web Worm Hits Windows, Crashes Computers Worldwide
news.myway.com|top|08-12-2003::17:06|reuters.html

I got this worm Sunday night. It shuts down your computer repeatedly. Major pain. Applied patch Monday afternoon and have since had no problems.

URL for patch:
microsoft.com

For protection, stay current w/ Windows updates. The vulnerability was originally reported in mid-July... the patch had first been made available soon thereafter.

Windows updates:
v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com
