I just finished installing Win 98 SE on my wifes new computer that I built for her (barebones). I searched the net for the best tutorials I could find. Guess where I found them- right here. Very detailed, very easy to follow, excellent - jmtjet 
New QuickTime bug opens XP, Vista to attack

Security researchers warn that attack code targeting an unpatched bug in Apple Inc.'s QuickTime has gone public, and added that in-the-wild attacks against systems running Windows XP and Vista are probably not far behind.
There was no word as of Sunday whether the Mac OS X versions of the media player are also vulnerable.
The critical bug in QuickTime 7.2 and 7.3 (and perhaps earlier editions as well) is in the player's handling of the Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP), a audio/video streaming standard. According to alerts posted by Symantec Corp. and the U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT), attackers can exploit the flaw by duping users into visiting malicious or compromised Web sites hosting specially-crafted streaming content, or by convincing them to open a rigged QTL file attached to an e-mail message.
A successful exploit would let the attacker install additional malware -- spyware or a spambot, say -- or cull the system for information like passwords. An attack that failed would likely only crash QuickTime.
