Rumor has it that XP Sp1 overwites or disables the Blaster
pacth. Can anyone confirm or refute this? Thx! Jim
 
I don't know about confirming or refuting anything.. I just know that I was
running win xp pro sr1 when I was infected with blaster... sorry if that
pops your bubble
 
Jim;
The rumor is false and dangerous if believed.
What is the source of this rumor?

SP1 was released about a year before blaster came out.
SP1 is no protection from blaster.
You need to install ALL the Critical Updates from Windows Update
Start/All Programs/Windows Update
You also need a current antivirus application as well as a firewall.
