if for some reason u had to uninstall xp home sp1 and
then reinstalled it would u lose the blaster worm patch ?
and if so can u still get the patch and where can u find
it ?
 
if after you reinstalled xp and logged onto the web for
the first time will u get infected?or would the xp fire
wall protect you from getting it until u downloaded the
patch?
 
Yes, the patch for protection against the Blaster worm is one of the
critical updates.
 
Sorry, should NOT. Forget the NOT part in the last post. If you have the
firewall on you will NOT be able to get the virus.

Before you even think of reinstalling and connecting to the Internet,
download the patch
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.blaster.worm.removal.tool.html
onto a floppy, do your reinstall thing and load the MSBlaster from the
floppy. Then work away at connecting to the Internet.
