Is ME affected by the blaster virus? There's no patch download for ME

Kim,
It is my understanding that Windows ME does not have the flaw found in other operating systems. Thus, no patch. Still is prudent to have a good firewall.

According to M$ all versions of win nt, 2000, xp, and 2003 are affected by the flaw but since hackers are using the flaw to spread other trojans/ worms/ viruses, etc. that affect other windows os'es, as Kim said still good idea to run firewall and also dont forget to keep antivirus software up to date.
