installed.

Following are securtiy protections on my PC(Home):

1.Norton Antivirus 2005(Updated)

2.Downloaded Microsoft other updated excecpt SP2.

3.SpyBot

4.WinXp Firewall is enabled.

5. LavaSoft Adaware

all above measures were already taken before this worm attacked.)

above measures but yet to install ZoneAlarm.
