In the spirit of exchanging information, tips, and techniques regarding
Microsoft products:

SPECIAL BLASTER NOTICE -
For information on identifying and removing the MSBLASTER worm in Windows NT
4, 2000, XP, and Server 2003, please see
http://forum.mvps.org/viewtopic.php?t=2703. For Microsoft's excellent
information page on the subject, please see
http://www.microsoft.com/security/incident/blast.asp. For recent Microsoft
announcements concerning Blaster and system security, see

**do not have** and **are not vulnerable to** the MSBLASTER worm.
