I'm having the same problem as the other posts. A
question: obviously I can't stay on the internet long
enough to download the patch on my XP system. Do I
download it through my windows 98 onto a floppy and
attempt to load it into my XP computer? How would I go
about doing this? Thanks for your help on this issue.
Sincerely,
Michael
 
Michael;
You can download the patch to a floppy on any computer.

You most likely have a worm W32.Blaster.Worm
DISCONNECT the subject computer from any network IMMEDIATELY.

Install or enable a firewall IMMEDIATELY:

VERY IMPORTANT to repair, closing ports is NOT enough.
Download the appropriate patch referenced in Ron Martessl article
below.
You may need to do this at an uninfected computer and burn to CD or
save on floppy.

This is the IMPORTANT fix by Ron Martell:

After this is resolved prevent similar occurrences by installing ALL
Critical Updates from Windows Update.
Keep antivirus up to date and run at least weekly.
Install or enable a firewall.
