Since the worms downloads itself i think it copies itself to every drive in the system so when you format your slave will have the virus also so is this right b/c i have formated many times and remeber worms copies itself to things. So im going to install widows xp again with my modem off!

opps wrong topic meant other rpc one theres so many haha.

ok if you need to stop your machine fro restarting to download the fix go into services and under the recovery tab in the RPC properties change the failure actions from restart the computer to restart the service. that should stop the system from restarting then you cand run the security updates to plug the hole. This doesn't stop the attack just the restarts you still need to plug the holes with the updates
