Do I need to download this security patch from March 2001
to protect from this worm? I purchased my computer in
July 2002 (Compaq) with XP installed. Also, a general
question. If I go to download something and it is
already on my computer, will windows let me know? What
if you download something that is already on the
computer?
 
Sharon;
Try this: Open Internet Explorer/click Tools/click Windows Update.
On the Windows Update home page, click Scan for updates.
Click Yes when prompted to install any required software or device drivers.
Note:
Windows Update scans your computer for outdated system files and lets you
replace them with the most recent versions.
The process will scan your computer and tell you what you need. After it
scans, click Review and install updates. Follow instructions. If something is
already on your computer, the scan should find it, and it won't be in the list.
Hope this helps. Let us know.
Wes
