I am running MS XP Home in English - can anyone confirm which version I need: 32 or 64 bit? What's the difference?
Thanks,

Should be 32 bit, at least it is for XP Pro. I suspect 64 bits are for some kind of server version.

From what I've seen on other forums, not many people have the 64 bit version yet so it's probably the 32 bit one.

btw this problem has got nothing to do with the virus.
HOpe this helps....

OK, I've rid my computer of the virus (as far as I can tell), but now I've just found out I can't open any pdf attachments in Outlook Express.
When I double click on the message, it tells me 'OE has removed access to the following unsafe items...'.
Is it possible this is a result of the virus? Does anyone have any ideas how I can solve this mystery?!

I\'m no computer wizard, but it might be because your firewall doesn\'t \"let\" pdf-files through.
The microsoft SP1 security patch will change the security settings for Outlook to the highest possible securtiy level. That excludes pdf and zip files.
Here are instructions to remove that Blasterworm (very easy):

These instructions are as simple as it gets.
I thought that may help some of us, just in case.
Good luck everybody,
Ursula

Thanks for the advice, Ilaria. Fortunately I stopped banging my head against a brick wall a few days ago having after reading Zhoudan's post...

My server gave m the clue to this one - it's simple.
Simply put the date on your system back a week or so.

This has happened because you have probably just downloaded all the updates from Microsoft and when it updates OE it changes the settings. To sort this, in Outlook Express go to:
Tools>Options>Security and make sure you UNCHECK
Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus.
Close OE and reopen, (you might have to restart your computer, I can't remember now) and press send receive
