Yea..I got slamed with it yesterday. By chance I got the latest updates from Norton over the weekend...but it still wasn't detected.I found and deleted the msblast.exe,but as soon as I got online to get the patch...got it again(less than a min...with XP firewall on). So can't get the patch without getting online...and can't get online without getting the worm,and getting shutdown....talk about Catch22. Pulled out my old puter with Win98(uneffected by msblast)...got online..got the patch,now up and running.....but I'm still going to reformat,just to be safe. BTW..none of my friends that use AOL,got hurt by it for some reason. SWAMP
