    I thought I was clear on the fact that this virus would not infect W98. Now I saw on the news that anyone running Windows, they did not specify any particular version, should download the patch.

    Do I need to download the Patch :confused:

    Who Is Vulnerable?
    Users of the following products are vulnerable to infection by this worm:

    Microsoft® Windows NT® 4.0
    Microsoft Windows® 2000
    Microsoft Windows XP
    Microsoft Windows Serverâ„¢ 2003

    Your computer is not vulnerable to the Blaster worm if either of these conditions apply to you:

    If you are using Microsoft Windows 95; Windows 98; Windows 98 Second Edition (SE); or Windows Millennium (Me).

    If you downloaded and installed security update MS03-026 prior to August 11, the date the worm was discovered.

    I knew I had installed a patch in July but it was not related to this virus.

    Thanks for the info.

    I guess I will have to believe M$ that I will not be infected.
