Thanks timmcat, but I have found a whole raft of info on the windows update site.
When I first booted the machine yesterday as I said microsoft had stuck a page of info on the dektop, but that has disapeared and I cannot get it back.
The only thing I know about XP is I do not like it, it seems to take forever to boot up or shut down and it is always accessing his hard disc, I will stick with 98 .
The main prob I have is that he will blame me for this virus.
