Hope this is the right spot to post this. I get an error when I logon to the
internet. I am on a dial-up connection.

The instruction at "0x009000090" referenced memory at "0x009000090". The
memory could not be "read". I did a goggle search, but the only thing I
solution I could find was to reload Windows XP. Is this caused from a virus,
or something else?

Thanks,
SandyR

Greetings --

You've contracted the latest worm, W32.Sasser.Worm, specifically
designed to attack people who do not update their computers promptly
and who do not practice "safe hex." In other words, like Blaster,
this worm was developed and distributed _after_ a patch for the
vulnerability was announced and made publicly available. Further, and
also like Blaster, this worm could not affect any computer whose user
had taken the basic precaution of using a properly configured
firewall.
