Attention Windows Xp Users!!!!
Last Night at work we went crazy with this new virus that shutsdown your pc upon connectivity while using xp..

If you are experiencing this problem, download the fix/patch from this website...

Fix :

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/tre...n/MS03-026.asp

or
go to google.com and type "MS03-026" as the keyword.

quick question, if you're already infected and your computer shuts down everytime you connect to the internet, how are you supposed to download that patch to fix it?

Gotta get yourself a backup pc. Or use a friend's pc to download, save onto disk, and transfer to yours.

hahaha...yeah i do tech. support too and we were gettin' mad calls about this stupid msblast.exe virus...

what you can do is...when the "(RPC) terminated unexpectedly" error comes on w/ the 60 second countdown...just change your Windows System date to like 1 day back or more...that will change the countdown to 1 day back and so forth thus giving you ample time to d/l the patch from Microsoft's website as per 1SicCiv's URL link...

just goes to show how vulnerable Microsoft's XP/2000/NT O/S are...

If I download it now and install it now before I get infected, will it prevent this from happening?
