Hi, while you wait for a NOD user to help you which, I am not one, you can download this free cleaner from McAfee and get rid of the worm, perhaps in a few days, some one from NOD will help you.

But might as well get rid of the worm, now instead of waiting.

Dear Nod32

I am a paying Nod32 and Outpost user. I have recently been infected by W32.Blaster.Worm. In an attemp to fix the problem I did an emmediate update of Nod32. <-QUOTE}

Obviously, you didn't update the database in time. One can't blame NOD32 software for a user not updating at least once a day.

{QUOTE-> But this did not fix the problem. I got automatic support from XP and Micrsoft Server. There where 4 steps, 1. Enable firewall (mine was already enabled).
2. Istall XP security update.
3. Install an antivirus program like Nod32 (I was already running Nod32) <-QUOTE}

3.: see the remark mentioned above.

{QUOTE-> 4. Go to your prefered antivirus vendors website to get free worm removal tool (which I have tried to do but!).
There where tools to remove a few worms but not the blaster worm. <-QUOTE}

Actually, there are some: have a look around on this forum - although that's actually beside the point.

{QUOTE-> There is no search window either. There is heaps of jacking off to how many awards you have won. You can add my award for annoying a customer and getting your ass whipped but a little worm. If I can't get worm protection from Nod32 program 'pronto' I will not renue my liscence and find an antivirus vendor that can back up its claims. <-QUOTE}

Fact: NOD32 takes care of all variants from this worm - provided one updates in time and has the software configured in the right way. There are several threads in this forum providing proof.

In case you don't feel like renew your license because of the fact you failed to update the database in time/configure the software correctly: that's your choice. Seems like your blaming the wrong party though.

regards.

We call that Silence of the Llama.. and I do grow fava beans in my garden :D.

The patch for blaster has been available for months. Testing whether your AV is up to the task..depends on when they let you out of your cell.


You can hide behind a firewall..but if your hungry... the Black Hats will invite you to dinner.

Glad your email addy is not showing in your profile any longer. Ass whopping.exe :o is not out there in the wild yet but ..but you never know. >:(

Gee. don't blame NOD32 for (1) your refusal to install the MS patch which was available back in mid July and (2) for your failure to keep NOD32 updated properly. NOD updates sometimes three times in one day so you should have enabled the auto update feature. If you want more control, then just tell NOD to ask before updating. The updating is very fast and very simple and no excuse for not enabling this feature. You have yourself to blame for this one. NOD will serve you very well in the future if set it up properly.
