> vendors (including Microsoft) published vulnerability removers for 
> Blaster. Can you trust a system that had Blaster after the tool is 
> run? I wouldn?t. If the system was vulnerable to Blaster, it was also
>  vulnerable to a number of other attacks. Can you guarantee that none
>  of those have been run against it? I didn?t think so.

> the best-case scenario, copying data off a compromised system and
> putting it on a clean system will give you potentially untrustworthy
> data. In the worst-case scenario, you may actually have copied a back
> door hidden in the data.
