Blaster can fry em, not on purpose but we lost two machines at one of our plants, fried the mb just cause of all the restarts, then we lost a hd on another, only thing we can figure they where lost cause noone noticed that it was rebooting itself for awhile.

Wow, i never heard any causes where blaster fried the boards. The pc's i had to disinfect/patch survived it.

How many did you work with....in total we had over 5000 machines servers/pc's I dont think 3/5000 is to bad...

xp pro. I got a new motherboard, but got the wrong one, so I have to go back tomorrow. hopefully when i get it up and running again I'll have enough time to download the patch.

What brand mobo you going for? As for xetox's question only a lil 5 man network and my buddy's home PC. 5000, ich, that would have been a real clusterfu** to cleanup.
