Hi,
I just removed the blaster worm and several variants from a Lady's XP Home machine, because of the RPC issue and her computer shutting down every 30 seconds or so. I knew what had happened. I also had to reinstall XP because the infection had festered. There had never been a critical update downloaded and installed nor was it using the ICF. After a cleaning the machine and a new install, everything is running just fine, including the ICF. I also went to Updates and downloaded 39 criticals and since she was on dialup, could not get SP1 or 1a. I have ordered 1a from MS and it's on it's way. My question now is, can the Service Pack be installed with all those other criticals already installed. I read somewhere (afterwards) that the SP should be first, and then go for other criticals. So do I now need to uninstall and reinstall Windows XP before doing the SP or can I go ahead. Thanks!
