I been attacked by the most recent vulnerability issue
that the latest patch (7/16/03) was supposed to prevent.
My computer checks for updates daily and is highly
protected by McAfee Internet security 5.0 with a
firewall. Unfortunately, I don't have a router or
external firewall.

The hacker disabled my xp and now my computer will only
load the ME that came with the computer. I have a full
version of xp and it does not recognize the cd in order
to install the windows.

Any suggestions?
