I am running windows 98 second edition. I have seen a lot
of patches that I can download for XP and 2000 but none
forwindows 98. Is it not affected by the worm. If it is
what do I need to do.

Thank you Steven

All news items and patch info all points to 2000 and XP.

The original blaster worm does not affect Win98.

Do you know if this is also true if Windows 98 has .Net installed?
Several scanning tools for this vulnerability will report a
vulnerability if the Windows 98 has .Net (which includes a DCOM
component).
