Go to an internet cafe (or a mates house) and download stinger from

http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/

and while you are at it do a search for MS04-011 in google, that will bring you to the patch download site. Stinger 700kb, patch 2.6mb (xp) 6mb (2000)

Run stinger on your PC in safemode and then restart.

Apply the patch.

You should be grand.

If you have XP, dont forget to turn off system restore before going into safemode.
