blaster worm & Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack1

[Nat]

I recently downloaded the service pack for my new PC
operating with Windows XP home edition. I did a check on
the task manager & the file msblaster.exe does NOT
appear. Do I need to download any additional Microsoft
security-related files/patches or take any other
precautions. Thanks

<ake sure you have the patch to prevent this worm from
getting in to your system - download from Microsoft -

It should not cause any harm if you already have the
patch..
