Install and use a firewall to prevent the blaster worm from infecting your system during the process of getting the updates/patches. You may use the build in one in XP. But I suggest you disable it after taking care of the blaster worm and get a decent one.
So basicly.
-
boot the system
-
put up the firewall
-
remove the worm (and other things if they are there)
-
reboot
-
check if the system is really clean
-
get ALL security patches/updates from http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com
-
reboot
-
Get a good firewall. (best is a router with build in one) but if you can’t afford that/don’t want that get ZoneAlarm or Kerio, but stay away from Kerio 4 since that one has some issues.
-
disable the XP firewall
That should take care of it forgood.
