MSBLAST.EXE VIRUS

[Sarah]

I went to Microsoft.com/security and they say to download
this patch. Has anyone else tried it and does it work?
I am attepting to try it myself now. Cross your fingers
and if anyone knows anything else please email me and let
me know. I can check my email for about three minutes
then I am booted.

I would do it now b/c you might not be able to use your computer before
long. this patch is VERY CRITICAL.

"Go Offline after you download the patch and either print this info or copy
