Error on install Worm patch

[Hesky Green]

I was able find a work around the virus, and removed it
using updated anti virus software. I have downloadED the
patch.
HOWEVER, I CANNOT COMPLETE THE PATCH INSTELATION BECAUSE
AS SOON AS I RUN THE INSTALL I GET:
"KB823980 setup error could not verify the integrity of
update.inf. Make sure the Cryptographic Service is running
on this computer"

I strongly beleive that it has to do with the virus. BUT
YOUR PATCH CANNOT HANDLE THIS ATTCK.
PLEASE ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
