Is Microsoft sure that this Blaster virus is not effecting
Windows ME? I run ME and PC has just started locking up on
me, and I've never had that problem.

Since Win Me does not run the RPC service affected by this virus no, Win Me is
not affected which is why there is no patch available. OTOH there are many
other viruses, trojans and parasites that can adversely affect your PC.
Preventing these from infecting your PC requires regular checking and
preventative action not just when the press decide to highlight a particular
worm such as the W32.Blaster.Worm.

Mike,
What about the Internet Connection Sharing?
This could cause viruses if it was installed.

My advice is as-is. It could trash your system.

How? If you think that is the case I would suggest you contact Microsoft and
ask them to correct their documentation.
