Wm32-Blaster?

[Hillary]

Hi,

My PC keep rebooting, at almost the exact increments, and
I have found out that it is a virus. I looked and found
the patch after reading the warning about it, but don't
which to get, as there are two, for a 32bit system, and
another for a 64. Can anyone tell me which?

Thanks,
Hil

You have the 32-bit version of Windows XP. The 64-bit version is
only commercially available for very expensive, high-end Itanium =
processors.

If your computer is constantly attempting to shutdown
or reboot, quickly go to:

Start > Run and type: shutdown -a , and hit enter.

This should halt the rebooting problem.

Then immediately turn-on Windows XP's built-in Firewall:

The 64 bit version is for Itanium machines only--if you had one you would
know it from the light feeling in your wallet.
