Blaster Worm Infection

[Bosi]

I've confirmed my system has been infected by this virus.
Problem is, downloaded PATCH to disk, systems GO when
suddenly, error message said unable to verify authenticity
of download, and to make sure CRYPOTGRAPHIC is running.

Q.- understand what this is, but how do I confirm if its
running?

Q2.- What file or area do I look to confirm

This is all that stand between me and kicking this infection

Having problem with deploying the PATCH too
Please Help
Sincerely

[Jeff]
