Talk:Blaster (computer worm)

message: One group may have been involved in blaster worm: Apple Computers inc. The whole plan is like this: In order to boost Apple computer sales, Apple decied to hire someone to make a Virus to wipe out Microsoft. The Kid, Jeff Parson, was the one. The Virus would then target Microsoft, eventually shutting the business down. So if the had paln suceeded, Bill Gates would lose a lot of money, Apple would dominate the computer world once again, and we would all be using Macs right now.--The Republican 23:52, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Who is behind it 

message: Jeffrey Lee Parson redirects here, and his name is on a 'convicted hackers' list, so when you click on his name to learn about him, it sends you to a worm that doesn't talk much of his arrest. Point of this: how would I go about to remove the redirect, but still be able to tell the user that he was responsible for the worm without writing anything? (Seeming I don't know anything about him) Lovok 17:19, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Out of general curiosity, is it necessary to say it's an "apparent" message? It's got his first and last name right on the message. Harksaw

message: :Image:Windows restarting because of RPC termination.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Windows restarting because of RPC termination.png

message: I dont't think, that unstability is the reason for the shutdown. I think the reason for the shutdown is, that the virus executes "shutdown -s -t 60 -c "Windows must now restart because the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Service terminated unexpectedly."". The shutdown can also be aborted w/ shutdown -a and the system normally runs stable after this, until the next shutdown-window appears. --Qaywsxedc (talk) 22:22, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Image copyright problem with Image:Windows XP Emergency Shutdown.png

message: I have discovered that the blaster worm also affects Windows 7. I made the mistake of downloading a Lego Star Wars: The Video Game computer demo, then it spread. It completely ruined my mother's laptop. We fixed it, but now it's missing the driver. It now appears to affect Windows 7.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.8.12.169 (talk) 18:11, 25 December 2011 (UTC)

message: So, does anyone have any clue what the "I love san" part of the message meant? Is that an acronym? It's not grammatically correct unless it's a name or acronym. Also, they mention a kid being arrested for creating a "Blaster B", but the article doesn't explain anything about this incident. It ought to give context at least.AnnaGoFast (talk) 07:52, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
