Has anyone else's PC been FUBAR'd by this RPC worm?

[GasX]

I got infected then had to do a reinstall of XP and now my PC is completely fscked

 

[GasX]

and how do you deal with a corrupt ntfs.sys file?

 

[OutHouse]

nope

 

[GasX]

:|

🙁

 

[Kadarin]

Nope! My PC was updated recently, just before this mess broke out (I hit windowsupdate every week or so), and, of course, there's my iMac...

 

[milagro]

not a prob here..religious patcher...

did you go to symantec's site and follow the instructions/use the removal tool? Should be able to boot into safe mode and take care of it...

 

[IBuyUFO]

no problems here and I rarely know of any updates

 

[Goosemaster]

No update. No siftware firewall...I do have a webramp 700s blocking all incoming though. No Problem.

I am reinstalling XP for other reasons, with a software firewall this time, but still yet to be infected.

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

No problems here, I keep norton antivirus with all updates and same for windows updates.

 

[HappyPuppy]

No probs, no patches, no updates. I still believe people get these things because they aren't careful.

 

[boyRacer]

Nope.

...been checking Windows Update every week since day 1 😀

 

[her209]

I have my firewall to thank. 🙂

 

[deerslayer]

Just about every computer i've seen has gotten it, but i've been able to remove it and patch them all. It can be a real PITA

 

[GasX]

how do you use recovery console to fix a corrupt ntfs.sys?

 

[Jugernot]

No, I patched on August 1st...

 

[ViperXX]

I was able to patch before I was hit.

I'd like to thank Zone Alarm and Norton for protecting me.

 

[Cerb]

No, I had a firewall. Great little thing to have.

 

[GoingUp]

yet another reason why I ghost often

 

[BadNewsBears]

Doesn't the attack start tomorrow
?

 

[DanTMWTMP]

I ran norton's app and MS patches and updates for XP which removed the infected files and fixed the entry points.

What is this about corrupted ntfs.sys files? How can I find out if I have them?

 

[brtspears2]

Nope, I keep updated all times, firewall up.

 

[Paulson]

I always do windows updates, but I'm also behind a firewall so it wouldn't have mattered..

 

[Goosemaster]

What exactly does this thing so, and how does it do it....?

My SPI Firewall never lets anything through so i'd like to hear about what I'm missing. I haven't even bothered reading stories about it either😛
