Hello Dumb1

I think to stop Blaster worm you will need to enable the Win XP firewall (I am not running win xp so I cant tell you how to do this) & make sure his computer is up to date with all the windows update patches, if you are not too sure about any of them post back here & we can tell you what he need & not need.

he is about a 2

223906 2004-03-20 06:40:00 He also has his MS firewall on and is running the latest Zone alarm Dumb1 (5351)
223907 2004-03-20 08:03:00 if he has the firewalls on, has an upto date antivirus, has installed the patch and has run the blaster patch.......
