new security pack

Can someone help me please. I just installed
the "September 2003, Cumulative Patch and since then I am
getting numerous memory access violation Kernal32
messages. I am also not able to receive e-mails. Is there
a way to remove this patch without a full scale restore of
windows from backup? Or maybe someone has a suggestion.
Thanks

Craig;
You did not install a security patch, you installed a virus.
Microsoft NEVER sends Email with attachments.

NEVER open a unexpected attachment.
Verify with sender before opening an attachment.
Delete the mail and the attachment immediately if not verifiable.

You now most likely have the Swen virus.

To protect the safety and security of your computer:
Install or enable a firewall IMMEDIATELY, before connecting to the

Microsoft NEVER sends updates as email attachments

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/news/patch_hoax.asp

PLEASE Don't click on any email attachment you don't
know about. This is a virus!!!!!!! Even if you're all
protected don't click on any unknown email attachments

"Authentic security bulletin mailers never provide the
patch itself or a link to the patch; instead, they refer the
reader to the complete version of the bulletin on our
web site, which provides a link to the patch"

Consider using these free (for home use) tool:
