The security hole involves Windows XP help. The hole lets anyone put a link on a website that can wipe out certain hard-drive directories.
If, for whatever reason, you don't or can't download the service pack, there is an alternative. There's a file you can rename or delete to fix the security hole. Here are the steps:
Perform a search for a file on your C drive called "uplddrvinfo.htm."
Once you've found the file, delete it or rename it. Doing so will not hinder your ability to use Windows XP
