hi all....apologies if this is being discussed elsewhere...but couldnt find the subject when searched the forums.

just a queery really regarding the sasser alert on the ntl homepage
http://www.ntlworld.com/help/aup/virus_sasser.php

going by the wording of the alert...it sounds as if the relevant ports have been blocked??

more info here on sasser http://securityresponse.symantec.com...er.b.worm.html

only reason i'm askin is cos of a thread on the computeractive forums.....where a poster has accused ntl of crass incompetance and stupidity for informing thier customers that they are not susceptible to sasser. (this aint what is stated in the alert though !!!!) the alert states that MOST ntl cusomers SHOULD not be susceptible to it due to proactive measures.
