No software or hardware firewall here. Not affected at all. Maybe Kaspersky protected me as I update it everyday

You *SHOULD* run a software firewall.

Yes, and when I got it, I totally panicked (because I couldn't find any information on WHY my sys kept restarting), add to this my computer rebooting every 2 minutes, the heat, and that I was tired, and I was totally useless. It was only thanks to Ovi that I found out what it really was, and finally fixed it.

I feel so ashamed for not having been able to think straight and fix it myself

Just blocked the ports through Router.

Patched my Windows XP

Patched my brother's computer.

So far I don't seem affected.

Don't feel ashamed! I don't see any reason for you to feel ashamed! Its a damn worm and you can't tell what it is if you don't know it

Router blocked everything not requested (which is virtually everything in my case). Plus firewalls and antivirus checkers everywhere, and I'm at home.

Bosses long time friend who works at UPS decided to warn me about it even though I knew about it for days and have been protected for weeks.

NAV definitions were a week old, running Zone Alarm free and the XP firewall was active.
Patched the OS and updated the virus definition yesterday morning.
Guess Zone Alarm caught it. Latest block on port 135 was a couple of minutes ago.

[ZokesPro]

Just got connected to the net like 2 minutes ago so no.

[Admiral]
