All,
Dont forget it is not said msblast will immediately start at Aug 16th 00:00
infected machine time but:
quote (eEye)
Denial of Service:
Each infected host will begin to SYN flood windowsupdate.com (on port 80)
starting on the 16th of the month in January through August, or on any day
in September through December. Note that this behavior is independent of
the current year, and can therefore persist indefinitely as long as
instances of the worm remain active in the wild.
