32 bit or 64 bit Windows XP? How can you tell?

You have the 32-bit version of Windows XP. The 64-bit version is
only commercially available for high-end Itanium processors.

Step #1

The first thing you should do is enable Windows XP's built-in Firewall:

1. In Control Panel, double-click Networking and Internet Connections, and
then click Network Connections.
2. Right-click the connection on which you would like to enable ICF, and
then click Properties.
3. On the Advanced tab, click the box to select the option to Protect my
computer or network.

Step #2

Download and install the following patch:

Blaster Worm: Critical Security Patch for Windows XP (32-bit version)
