Ugrade to Windows XP Home Edition

[Guest]

I currently have Windows 98 and have purchased the upgrade to XP Home
Edition. I have installed it but cannot then connect to the internet. It
keeps logging me out with the following message ' LSA Shell (Export Version).
LSA Shell (EC) encountered a problem and needed to close. Status code:
1073741819. I have uninstalled XP so I can still use the internet but want
to use the new version. What do I need to do so I can use XP Home Edition?

From a Google search, it appears that you may have a worm:

You've apparently 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.

To stay on-line long enough to get the necessary updates, patches,
and removal tools, click Start > Run, and enter "shutdown -a" when the
next Shutdown countdown begins. This will abort the shut down. Also,
make sure you've enabled a firewall before starting, to preclude any
more intrusions while getting the updates/patches/tools.
