Uhmm... For what i heard there are already viruses on the loose which work kinda like Blaster did. Which means you can get infected by just being connected to the internet and doing notjing at all. Which i a thing people should serously protect themselves for. A good virusscanner in combinating with regular Windows Update saves you from A LOT of troubles.

Also don't forget to run a good anti virus to be sure you weren't already been infected by other viruses before you fixed it all.

Stupid Microsoft making everyone aware of their holes then people make viruses
Microsoft makes people aware in order to get people install their fixes, a prefect fix is already availible on Windows Update for a few weeks. People in general should learn to update their PC on regular basis for their own good.

Just give them names like, For Example "NetSky"
The official name is W32.NetSky, and with .AB they are pointing out a specific variant of this virus. So i think they call it perfectly by it's name.

If they break my PC, Then Just format, I now have a virus scanner, So it takes the problems away
That's like "I don't lock my doors, if somebody breaks into my house i just but a new house.". Running Windows Update once a week/month, or just automatically is way less work then having to format your whole PC. And keep in mind that a virusscanner will not always block everything.
