167891 2003-08-14 22:32:00 When applying the patch from Microsoft for the blaster worm, I get a message which says "Setup could not verify the integrity of the file 'Update.inf'. Make sure the Cryptographic service is running on this computer". The patch then won't load, leaving me exposed to further worm infections.

I don't know what to do from here. Have tried loading the patch in safe mode but I get the same message. I'm running XP home.

If anyone has any ideas as to what I need to do I'd be very grateful.

Thanks
Ben
