evo0o Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 will installing using a network install from the microsoft site do any harm to a computer or will there be any difference compared to when you slipstream it onto a cd? (other than time saving) also, will xpsp2 include the fixes for the blaster worm etc? last time i installed winxp, the moment i connected to the internet i got the blaster worm virus and a sasser :p thanks in advance for the answers. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erp Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Don't plug your modem or LAN in until after you are finished installing windows. You need the firewall up and running BEFORE you get on the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
