I was told that Downloading your new Updates actually
gives us the Virus!!!You are Corrupted and are passing
the Virus so that you can get vidal Info from everyone to
use to your benefit for future programs....I thought this
was silly but, I really do not know much about such
things and I do know that people/companies do strange
things to keep Business "flowing"...Who can I "TRUST"????
I have sent many error Reports and have not been told
why/where/or how to fix the problem...I think it is being
caused by a screensaver I had downloaded in-
correctly...The Screensaver people said it is Microsoft
XP Problem it has a lot of cliches in the program. Is
this so??? They sent a newer Version and things are even
worse now.....or perhaps it is the Virus...I hardly use
Messenger and have not used it since before the Worm and
am afraid to open it up to use anymore. Should I just not
use it anymore that is the way the Virus/Worm gets in
is'nt it??? or is it any mail??? Help Me PLEASE!!!!!
 
Pam;
Who said "Downloading your new Updates actually gives us the Virus"
They lack the credibility you give them.
Go to a few reputable computer stores and ask them.

If you do not install the Critical Updates, you put your computer at
risk.
The recent Blaster is a good example.
If people had installed the patch more than a month ago when Microsoft
released it, Blaster would have been a non event.
Instead countless people following suggestions of ones that told you
not to, got the worm and possibly other problems because they listened
to the wrong people.

To protect the safety and security of your computer:
Install or enable a firewall IMMEDIATELY, before connecting to the
internet:

Install ALL Critical Updates IMMEDIATELY.
Start/All Programs/Windows Update

Install an antivirus application
Update it weekly
Run it at least weekly
