Blaster worm patch error!!!

[Dr Frasier]

Hello all,

Im trying to install the Blaster worm patch in my WinXP i just formatted.

When i run the patch i get a msg similar to this:

"Installation can not verify the integrity of the file update.inf.
Make sure the criptography service is being executed in your system."

Does anyone know why i get this error?
And how can i remove the worm using any other tool?

Thanks in advance,
Helder

(sorry for the english)

Hi

Open Windows Explorer to C:\Windows\system32, right-click/rename the
catroot2 folder to catold. Then retry the installation. When finished, there
will be a new catroot2 folder and you can safely delete the old renamed one.
