If you did a windows update back in june/july (forgot which month the original patch came out for something that allowed blaster to work, but was not explicitly for Blaster) your computer should not be vulnerable to Blaster

EDIT: I think it was the July 16th update that if you used would stop Blaster from affecting you.

Well i just reinstalled a few days ago because of a new motherboard i got...

If I remember correctly blaster only shutdown/rebooted the computer with the "NT/Authority" dialog box, not like it happened out of the blue.

running XP...turn off auto reboot..Start>ControlPanel>System>Advanced>(Startup and Recovery)..click "Settings" uncheck under "System Failure" ..Automatic Restart..to get a normal BSOD with an error message..

I have no idea, as I'm an old newbie.

I have XP Pro, last week I got.

Security update..KB832483

Windows Blaster worm removal tool.. KB833330..for patched machines ms03-026 or
ms03-039.

I have a slow learning curve. But I hope this is some help.
