Because of the new worm threat, and because I am still running Win2K on one of my computers, I downloaded and installed all of the MS updates. I then ran the Trend Micro scan, which took over an hour, with the following results:
Virus Scan 0 virus cleaned, 1 virus deleted
Results:
We have detected 1 infected file(s) with 1 virus(es) on your computer. Only 0 out of 0 infected files are displayed: - 0 virus(es) passed, 0 virus(es) no action available

C:\Program Files\solarSoft\madeSafe\ar405eng.exe PE_CIH.DAM Deletion successful
Trojan/Worm Check 0 worm/Trojan horse deleted
What we checked:
Malicious activity by a Trojan horse program. Although a Trojan seems like a harmless program, it contains malicious code and once installed can cause damage to your computer.
Results:
We have detected 0 Trojan horse program(s) and worm(s) on your computer. Only 0 out of 0 Trojan horse programs and worms are displayed: - 0 worm(s)/Trojan(s) passed, 0 worm(s)/Trojan(s) no action available
- 0 Worm(s)/Trojan(s) deleted, 0 worm(s)/Trojan(s) undeletable
Trojan/Worm Name Trojan/Worm Type Action Taken
Spyware Check 2 spyware programs removed
What we checked:
Whether personal information was tracked and reported by spyware. Spyware is often installed secretly with legitimate programs downloaded from the Internet.
Results:
We have detected 4 spyware(s) on your computer. Only 0 out of 0 spywares are displayed: - 2 spyware(s) passed, 0 spyware(s) no action available

Microsoft Vulnerability Check 1 vulnerability detected
What we checked:
Microsoft known security vulnerabilities. These are issues Microsoft has identified and released Critical Updates to fix.
Results:
We have detected 1 vulnerability/vulnerabilities on your computer. Only 0 out of 0 vulnerabilities are displayed.
Risk Level Issue How to Fix
Important A vulnerability in ASP.NET allows an attacker to bypass the security of an ASP.NET Web site, and access a machine. The attacker gains unauthorized access to some areas of the said Web site, and is able to control it accordingly. The actions that the attacker could take would depend on the specific content being protected. MS05-004
If I am interpreting the scan results correctly, one virus was deleted, no trojans or worms were detected, two spyware programs were deleted, two cookies that were detected were also left on my computer, and one MS vulnerability needs to be fixed using "MS05-004." I was given an option to click on "MS05-004" but when I did, I received the "This page cannot be displayed" message.
Can someone tell me what "MS05-004" might be and whether I should try to find it and fix the ASP.NET vulnerability that was found?
Also, are there opinions pro and/or con regarding Trend Micro?
I visited Gibson Research and ran the port-probe test. All ports are in stealth mode. However, my computer failed the "Leak Test." Not exactly sure what that is or what the ramifications are for having failed it. Anyone?
As always, thanks for your help!
