It seems that the key risk relates to a weakness in the Windows Messenger (not MSN Messenger but the one triggered by Net Send etc) -code that can be exploited. Symantec are seeing a level of activity which they strongly believe may lead to someone exploiting the vulnerability. The last time that Symantec reached this level of alert was immediately before Blaster appeared. <br /> <br /><br /> <br />--> Ensure that all Windows servers, desktops and laptops are patched as recommended in their security bulletin MS03-043.
