1. tom, you are CLUELESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
now, that we got that out of the way:
2. Start / Programs / Accessories / System Tools / Backup (some OEM
versions of XP don't come with NTBACKUP)
3. What media are you planning on backing up your system to? ...tapes,
another har-drive (local or another machine), DVD, etc?
4. Installing the patches won't fix the problem - it's after the fact. You
need to unplug the machine from the net and use a removal tool
(www.symantec.com - search for MSblast).
5. Install the patches.
6. Invest in AntiVirus software.
7. Invest in a Firewall.
