Title: Next VIRUS warning
Post by: dorbian on August 21, 2003, 09:06:23 am

WHOA watch out new virus.

how does it work !

It removes the worm called w32.blaster.worm ( good part of the worm ) then it runs windows update !
After running windows update it reboots your pc.
then it starts pinging all the ip adress you can possible think of in the entire network to create a hell of a network load and if it finds a pc that is conencted it sends itself to that pc and starts doing the same there!

that should be what it does for more info go here


the information can be found here:
w32.welchia.worm (http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.welchia.worm.html)

you can download the tool from here (http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/FixWelch.exe)  with the instructions (http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.welchia.worm.removal.tool.html) !

again sorry for not typing it out but i\'m at work and i could get fired for this
