I have windows XP and apparently it was invaded by a worm
virus yesterday. I cannot download the security patches
or antivirus stuff because I can't stay on the internet
longer than 30-45 seconds ... cause of the worm. Does
anyone have any suggestions??? I NEED to use my email ...
job applications ... moving ... new job ...
recommendations ... etc.

thanks so much,
jenn

As soon as you can! You are running the 32-bit version

Also enable Windows XP's built in firewall:

Then go to WindowsUpdate to pick up the latest updates:
