djelite 0 Posted August 16, 2003 I try to go to WINDOWS UPDATE by using the IE > TOOLS choice or thru START > ALL PROGRAMS but get redirected here: http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/thanks.asp Thank you for your interest in Windows Update Windows Update is the online extension of Windows that helps you get the most out of your computer.

adamvjackson 0 Posted August 16, 2003 If you are looking for the patch to the MS Blaster worm, you can get it at http://download.microsoft.com. I assume you're using Windows XP, since you said 'All Programs' from the start menu. Have you installed SP1? Legal key/license? Share this post Link to post
jmmijo 1 Posted August 16, 2003 I received this message a couple of times last night and then after a reboot it worked fine. This may have been coincidental however Microsoft has added some new info to their Windows Updates home page: Steps to Protect Yourself from the Blaster Worm To protect yourself from the Blaster Worm and its variants, users of the following products: Microsoft Windows® 2000 Service Pack 2 or greater, Microsoft Windows XP, and Microsoft Windows Server 2003, should install "MS03-026: Security Update for Windows XP (823980)". Microsoft Windows NT4 users are also vulnerable and should click here for more information. Users of Windows 2000 RTM or Windows 2000 SP1 should upgrade to the latest service pack and then install "MS03-026: Security Update for Windows XP (823980)". Your computer is not vulnerable to the Blaster Worm if either of these conditions apply to you: If you have already downloaded and installed the security update that was addressed by Security Bulletin MS03-026. The MS03-026 update will not be listed on Windows Update in this case. If you are using Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition (SE), or Windows Millennium (Windows Me).
