The update also requires SP6 on NT 4.0

The tool is working out fine as far as I can say. Tested it in different

Sometimes it might be helpful to kill the msblast.exe process (XP) and 
rebooting the system after removing the windows auto update = msblast.exe
key.

Removing the worm manually (registry, files) works out as well. 


Please notice, that MS's hotfix requires at least SP2 for W2K.
