My wife's Dell coputer with Windows XP home opperating
system will not stay on the internet. AT&T Tech said that
I could download the security patch for this worm virus on
this computer, however, I am on a Windows 98 system and
everytime I try to find the MS Security patch for Windows
XP, it only gives me the updates for the Windows 98.

HOW DO I GET THIS SECURITY PATCH DOWNLOADED AND SAVED TO A
DISK SO THAT I CAN LOAD IT ON THE WINDOWS XP MACHINE?

I AM JUST A DUMMIE WHEN IT COMES TO COMPUTER IT.

PLEASE HELP
