		Description: MSBlaster Worm wriggles around the world

		A new worm Blaster that exploits a widespread vulnerability in Microsoft's Windows operating system is on the spread. The worm takes advantage of a known vulnerability in a Windows component called the DCOM (Distributed Component Object Model) interface, which handles messages sent using the RPC (Remote Procedure Call) protocol. RPC is a common protocol that software programs use to request services from other programs running on servers in a networked environment. The worm, dubbed "Blaster" but also known as "LoveSan" or "MSBlaster," carried a message for the Microsoft chairman: "Billy Gates why do you make this possible? Stop making money and fix your software!!"
