WannaCrypt Patch (KB4012598)

Hi all,

To protect Windows XP against WannaCrypt. I did the following steps.

1 - Installed the patch KB4012598 for XP

2 - Restarted the PC

and then applied these two command lines to disable SMB1:

3 - sc.exe config lanmanworkstation depend= bowser/mrxsmb20/nsi

4 - sc.exe config mrxsmb10 start= disabled


Is it necessary to apply step 3 and 4 to protect against WannaCrypt virus?



Thanks in advance for your help.

JC

 

Will the KB4012598 patch for WinXP be sufficient to protect against WannaCrypt virus?
