Dallas, TX | Worm may have hit where I work today Around 1:00 PM Central time, several people where I work
began seeing random crashes and shutdowns of applications
we use regularly at work, and sometimes even parts of
Windows2000 itself. In some cases, people were unable to
log onto our primary production system, which is based on
Oracle. In other cases, it was Outlook2002 that seemed to
be associated with the crashes. I noticed on my work-
station a random crash of one of the svchost.exe processes,
and at that time I wondered if a new worm that exploited
the DCOM vulnerability had gotten loose in our network. A
few people also reported being unable to log into our time
entry system, which is located on a secure server. Having
read some of what other posters in this thread have
reported, I believe the answer to my question is yes. The
time frame in which this was occurring is consistent with
the flood of DCOM port probes logged by Zone Alarm on my
home PC. I patched my system here at home the Sunday
night after the Department of Homeland Security warning
was issued about this vulnerability. I have a feeling MIS
(our IT department) where I work has not done likewise.

| I have been hit too. The worm file was called W32.Blaster acccording to Norton AV. I cleared the msblaster.exe file out of system32 with Norton but still have trouble with SVCHOST. SVCHOST.EXE now runs for about 2 minutes on a restart and then crashes out. |

Hi, I also did what you did but in the end had to do a os-re install to get rid of the garbage.
