new patch

If I have Windows 2000 should I down load the patch for my
computer?

Absolutely.

Install:

As soon as you can!. You are running the 32-bit edition; you'd know if you
weren't, trust me.

Get a firewall! You NEED one. There are several free ones, including
Sygate ( www.sygate.com )

Then go to WindowsUpdate to pick up the latest updates:
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com. (You should do this about once a month
anyway, at least)

More info about the worm:

and http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;823980

You also need good antivirus software - for personal use, AVG 6.0 is free -
www.grisoft.com - set it to update daily.
