(Wow. New territory. I've never been here before.
Posted this in General Chat too but you lot might be of more use.)

My computer crashed yesterday or something, and for some reason unknown to mankind, when prompted about windows updates I closed the box.

So today windows was playing up a bit, freezing for a few seconds every few seconds. So I went onto Windows Update site, and it said I had 11 critical updates to download. 10 downloaded and installed. One didn't. Windows Blaster Worm Removal Tool (KB833330) decides it wont install, and I've tried it with my Anti-Virus on and off.

I can only assume that perhaps I have to blaster worm virus.

So if anyone has any knowledge of computers and could help, I would be extremely grateful.

Thanks.

The blaster worm virus will cause the PC to sometimes shut itself down whilst you're online. This can happen at random times, and if it happens a box will appear saying that the PC will shut down in a minute. So if that hasn't happened you don't have the blaster worm.
