Worm Patch

[Mary]

I tried to download the patch for the new worm from
Microsoft but am receiving an error message that reads:

Setup could not verify the integrity of the file
Update.inf. Make sure the Cryptographic service is
running on this computer.

HELP!

Still isn't working. My cryptographic... is running and
computer says it's working. Still no luck. Any
suggestions?

I have also followed the instructions below and can
sometimes get past the accepting terms then it pops the
error message back up and sometime I can't even get past
hitting next. I can't get it to run the patch.
