I want to download the necessary patch after my Blaster
virus was removed in the store. Where do I find the
Patch. I think its #823980? What about the firewall
protection is that a download too?

Please help I'm new at this.

Hi DMF

****Before you try and download the patch, please have some kind of firewall running**** You can enable the XP firewall by going to Control Panel>Network Connections and then right clicking on the interent connection, selecting Properties and then the Advanced tab. Make sure that 'Protect my computer...' is enabled and then click OK.

The following link should help you:

"What You Should Know About the Blaster Worm and Its Variants"

http://www.microsoft.com/security/incident/blast.asp

Please read the info about enabling a firewall on this page carefully so that your system doesn't get infected again.

The patch can be manually downloaded from:

Any problems, please post back.

Will
