Security update

Not really Warcraft 3 news, but a security vulnerability that users running Windows 2000/XP should be made aware of. Basically it can allow the person to take over your computer. The symptoms are your computer mysteriously reseting with an RPC error. Further details can be found here along with the patch. People will be fine with the patch, but we've had a couple of instances today and preventing is always better then curing.

If you are infected or think you are, please run this removal tool before applying the M$ patch. If your system keeps getting reinfected before you can download the patch, goto start->run->cmd.exe then type shutdown /a <-- This command will abort the rpc 30 second shutdown that is part of the infection process, and should give you time to apply the patch from microsoft.

You all BOW TO WINDOWS 98 SE MUAHAHAHA. You're all danmed.

lol. We just have to download another patch. Firewall own

Not Affected Software:

Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition

------------------------

Win ME has, although rarely, it HAS got its advantages... :D
-> proud to run on win ME

theres microsoft for you. of cource there are 7000 other security holes almost as bad that they are just to lazy to fix...but they just claim against the free security professionals of the world that they cant fix them. www.f***microsoft.com debeep it if you want to go there.

OMFG thank u soooo much for this..
recently ive been getting a rpc error or something that shuts down my comp in 60 seconds after its run..

so i ran norton antivirus and it found a virus in a file called mblaster in windows/system32 but it coulndt delete it so i was gettin all worked up about it..

thanks again, and sry im so happy i cant type

Damn, I'm saved!!!
:ggani:
I was already about to "format c:" and reinstall the whole system! How could I know that it was just another global hackers' attack on Microshit?!

Thank u man for posting this here!!! If I wasn't an atheist I would pray on u!!! :gsmile:

Lol, i was gonna format my Harddrive too till i thought i should search the net to see if there was anything, lo and behold i found the link, patched my comp and then this mornin Iron Ian told me he had this RPC error also, so i gave him the above link and he must have passed it to kharma, n e way, good luck u ppl who have had this f'kin worm virus *Down with microsoft!* lol :D

ya, i saw this on TV, I was like hell, I gotta dl this fast. Also, it also happens to NT 4.0 users.

People! Can't you see? This is the Carnivore replacement! Think about it, a patch that every most Windows user will get, It's the perfect way to install this bs, as part of the OS! And if you need further proof AOHELL told me to dl it! There's no way around it, ether get the patch and be paranoid about the carnivore or not get it and be paranoid about your firewall and anti-virus not catching it. We're all gona die.

ok, EVERY software that I own demands and update, If offical. We're all gona die.

the people at a tech show called the screensavers http://www.techtv.com/screensavers/w...498721,00.html
got an interview with a guy named "icer" who took the virius apart and then the secret service asked him a bunch of questions about how the virius worked and stuff.

I, not long ago, as well obtained this worm. The cursed thing plagued my computer, nearly making me insane with the unbelievably ridiculous load times and uncountable amount of crashes. Thank God for this patch.

Okay, firstly, this worm effectively trashes your RPC. Second, other than that, it does nothing.

Other than initiate a times Distrubeted Denial of Service on MS Windows update. Hate microsoft? Re-install the nice worm before this weeked.

id never have to wory about this crap my dam comp has too many fire walls and a damb anouing router the only comp that could have a chance at hacking my comp is my bros wich is on the same network
