Updates

OK, needed to load XP on a machine and of course the disk
did not have all the patches and such and trying to log on
to upgrade it gave me a mblaster virus that Norton killed
and a Welchia worm which it did not though my lists is
supposed to be up to date. How can I download all the
stuff to a CD and then load them on the machine?

If you enable your XP Firewall before venturing onto the Net,
you will be safe long enough to download your updates...

Activate the firewall before going online to get the updates.
Or go to the Windows Update Catalog (available from the update site after
you've personalized it) and download the updates in *.EXE form to another
computer. Transfer the files to the computer you want to install them on.
Double click the *.EXE files to run them.
