Hi Marilyn,

If the popup was generated by your Automatic Update settings, the
download/install process should have been fairly seemless. You shouldn't
have reached a dead end. This causes me to wonder if the "message" you
received is legitimate.

The specific update in question can be found in the link that is part of
this KB Article:

828035 MS03-043: Buffer Overrun in Messenger Service Could Allow Code
Execution
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=828035

RECOMMENDATION:

Rather than attempting to install this one patch, I recommend you visit the
Windows Update site and have it scan your computer for any/all needed
critical updates. Here is the link to Windows Updates:

http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com

Install all critical updates the scan tool says you need.
