Any body know how to get rid of this one. It is brand new mutation of the blaster worm. I did a reinstal of XP and before i could downlaod the new securtiy patches this “Nachi Virus” and “Blaster Worm” both attacked my PC. My internet connection has been reduced to 1.5k transfer rates. Plus i need a good free virus scaner. One with no spy or add ware. ---

I have to say, if this Blaster worm gets a hold of my machine and I have to re-install windows, I’m gonna scrap that and just run Linux instead. I’m tired of all these \*\*\*\* worms and viruses! ---
