Blaster/Lovsan Virus Update

This virus and its variants seem to be under control. The last number I have seen is that at least 225,000 computers were affected by this virus. Both McAfee's and Norton's current virus definitions are dated 8/13/03. McAfee's is 4284. If you are using the FixBlast program to clean infected machines it is now at version 1.0.4 dated 8/14/03.

This will be the last update for this virus. We are all probably happy to see this one go. I was going to create a "What We Have Learned" summary yesterday however, I was finding it hard to type in the dark. At this point I am getting ready to go on a bike tour of Martha's Vineyard and prefer to leave all this behind for a day or two. I will post the summary on Monday.
