Worm.Msblast.E

There are many types of threats to protect your PC from, and you will be unable to do that if you do not have a powerful and updated security tool which will guard your system against Worm.Msblast.E and similar threats. This worm can attack PCs through networks, or through a PC connected to the Internet. It has been determined that Worm.Msblast.E exploits numerous known Windows vulnerabilities which are actually easily patched, but many systems do not have the required patch installed. Worm.Msblast.E also makes it near impossible for infected PCs to connect to the Internet in order to download the required patch.

It is known to attack Windows 2000 and Windows XP machines, exploiting the much publicized DCOM RPC vulnerability. Once the PC is infected, Worm.Msblast.E will start a Denial of Service attack (DoS attack) against windowsupdate.com, which makes it even harder to download the required patches, making it easy for the worm to infect as many different PCs as possible before being disabled.

Since August 15th 2010 Microsoft ceased using the windowsupdate.com domain, in an effort to lessen the impact of these denial of service attacks. Users infected with Worm.Msblast.E reported on increased system instability, such as Windows Blue screens, out of memory errors and unauthorized changes to their Control Panel.

In order to protect your PC against this excruciatingly annoying worm, or to remove Worm.Msblast.E permanently, invest in a genuine security tool. This is the best and safest way to guard your PC against this, and other similar types of threats.
