Quite a nasty one I think. About 6 months ago, many people on VS got caught out with this.

Hope the link helps. Smile

ag shame Strawbs...

MS Blast was a very bad one, but as far as I know it only targets certain versions of Windows.

Once you have removed the worm you must do a security update...you can do this by going to MS website... Wink
