Security Patch - September 2003

Since downloading the Sept 2003 patch I now receive a pop
up box every time I log in = "Error occured" tehm
message "Memory access violation in module kernal32 at
XXXX:XXXXXXXX" (the Xs are numbers and differ each log
in). I cannot seem to solve this. Can you help/advise?

You are, if your ISP hasn't already let you know, infected with Swen.

As Jonathan Maltz says--get Symantec's description and cleaner tools and
follow their instructions carefully:

The "error message" you describe is generated by the virus itself.
