With the the nasty new worm is known variously as MSBlast, Lovsan, W32/Blaster and Win32.Poza or whatever you want to call it. How can I check to see if I my automatic update downloaded the patch? I blow off the updates so often when I'm busy or lazy.
Also should I set up my XP fire wall that I just read about and didn't know I had. What exactly does it do? Is it good enough? Are there drawbacks to firewalls?

You guys are great for answering all sorts of dumb questions that I post or I read, there are so many of us people that are technically challenged but are at least trying. Although sometimes your answers are over my head.

Thanks for any and all help!
