Norton won't stop this. If you have a router such as linksys block tcp port 445. This is the door this sucker is coming through.

"Norton won't stop this."

I know, that's what I said. :) My daughter called me from work this morning and asked me if I could get rid of it. I told her last night to update her patch from MS, but no, moms don't know anything. I'm waiting for her to bring her computer to me. How would you go about blocking port 445?

Also, everytime she tries to get her patch, the computer shuts down. If I startup in safe mode, can I get online and download the patch that way? Or, should I remove the bugger from the registry, first, and then try to patch?

Norton detects this as of the 4/30 update.
