Can not access XP SP1

[Dave S]

I removed the blaster worm, disables Sys restore and del
msblast.. from the RPC. When I go to MS for XP SP 1 it
won't accept the file transfer. I am certqin I have
removed the worm. Has anyone else experienced this?

Close all open IE windows then open Windows Explorer and go to:

WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc

Locate the HOSTS file and rename it to HOSTSOLD. Then try Windows Update
again. Also update your AV software and rescan your system.
