You may quickly and easily check your system:

It is unlikely that typical personal computer users will be vulnerable to this worm's
infection attempts, so you probably have nothing to worry about. Most personal
computers are not running Microsoft's "SQL Server", so there is no point of entry for this
infection.

To quickly verify that your system is not running Microsoft's SQL Server, and therefore
can not be infected by Sapphire/Slammer worm probes, enter the following command in
an "MS-DOS Prompt" window:

netstat -an | find "1434"

This DOS command line checks for the presence of any process "listening" on your
computer's port 1434. Your system might be vulnerable only if some lines containing
"1434" are printed to the screen when this command is entered. Otherwise, your
computer can not be infected by this new worm.
