Have you noticed slow Internet response this morning? Its probably due to the Welchia worm.

This is the coolest virus I've seen. It uses the same exploit that Blaster did to infect the same computers (if they haven't already been patched), but it's sole purpose is to hunt down Blaster and kill it. It not only cleans the computer of Blaster, it even downloads the patch from Microsoft to keep anyone else from using the same exploit.

--> Blaster worm

Welchia worm

How much you wanna bet that this is Microsoft thumbing their nose at the hacker?

Sucks that it kills bandwidth in the meanwhile though.

SUCKS to be a worm.

me likes WORMs

what ever happened to the good old days when computer viruses just formatted your hardrive and that was the end of it?
