Phil,

If you have not applied the patch and ran the removal tool for the Blaster worm, I suggest you do that. The blaster worm may have infected some system files.

I think i found the patch on microsoft.com, but when i click to download it, nothing happens. I am getting the impression that i cannot perform any actions on internet explorer, d/l and right-clicking being part of them.

Any suggestions?
