Windows Update?

[aphex]

Weird, when i go to the update page... It gives me the following...

"Thank you for your interest in Windows Update

Windows Update is the online extension of Windows that helps you get the most out of your computer.

The latest version of Windows Update is available on computers that are running Microsoft Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows Millennium Edition, Windows 2000 (except Windows 2000 Datacenter Server), Windows XP, and the Windows Server 2003 family."

And nothing else...

WTF did that worm do to me?

 

[pray4mojo]

Windowsupdate.com isn't working for me. 😕

 

[Zim Hosein]

Works fine for me aphex, WU even has "Blaster Worm" info right below the "Scan for updates" button. 😕

It's just windowsupdate.com that doesn't work. Windowsupdate.microsoft.com works 😕

 

[dighn]

works here...

 

[Ladies Man]

in ie go to tools... windows update


they changed some stuff around so the virus couldn't hurt it

 

[mooglekit]

Windowsupdate.com no longer exists....Microsoft extinguished the site in order to help control the worm. go to windowsupdate.microsoft.com. That's their new location (though it has been there all along anyways).

Linkified for the Lazy:

Windowsupdate.com no worky no more

windowsupdate.microsoft.com your new worst enemy

enjoy your buggy software! 😀

I was getting the same thing as aphex earlier, but it seems to be working fine now.

The virus coders made a stupid mistake. The code is supposed to do a Denial of Service (DoS) on windowsupdate.com today.
Windowsupdate.com is a site which redirects everyone to windowsupdate.microsoft.com. Microsoft removed the redirection.

They launched a DoS on Windowsupdate.com instead of windowsupdate.microsoft.com
