Word/Publisher don't start after installing SP4

[Ron Ohst]

Yesterday in an effort to ensure safety from the Blaster
worm I installed all the available WINDOWS 2000 PRO
updates on 3 of my office computers (including SP4). Now
both Winword.exe and MSPUB.exe exit with this error
message about 4 seconds after starting:

"WINWORD.EXE has generated errors and will be closed by
Windows. You will need to restart the program.

An error log is being created."

Help!

BTW I am running Norton Antivirus and it does not detect
any infection.
